At FEIverse, each artwork is created not as a one-time purchase, but as a long-term companion, a piece that evolves with the space and the life around it.

Meaning of “因果”

Cause and Consequence

Core Idea

“Yin Guo” speaks of continuity rather than judgment. It reflects the understanding that what appears in the present is shaped by what has quietly taken place before. Cause and consequence are not separate moments, but parts of the same unfolding. Meaning is formed over time, often without force or declaration.

Origin / Story

The concept of “Yin Guo” has deep roots in Chinese thought, appearing across Buddhist, Daoist, and classical philosophical traditions. In Buddhism, it describes the moral and existential law that actions give rise to corresponding results, not as punishment or reward, but as a natural unfolding of conditions.

In broader Chinese culture, “Yin Guo” extends beyond religious doctrine. It becomes a way of understanding time, responsibility, and continuity — how present circumstances are shaped by what came before, and how present actions quietly shape what is yet to come.

Today, “Yin Guo” remains relevant as a gentle reminder in a fast-moving world: depth is formed gradually, and meaning often reveals itself only with time. Its presence in a space encourages reflection, patience, and awareness of the unseen links between intention and outcome.
