About

The word 心思 is formed through a poetic and conceptual fusion of its two components: 心 (xīn), meaning "heart", representing the emotional and intuitive center of a person, and 思 (sī), meaning "to think" or "thought", representing the cognitive and reflective faculty. Together, they create a holistic concept where heart and mind are not separate but integrated, picturing the inner world where feelings and thoughts intertwine to form one's intentions, considerations, or state of mind. It visually and ideationally marries the seat of emotion with the process of cognition to express the complete internal landscape of a person.
