“Three spirits, seven senses” is a Taoist doctrine regarding the makeup of the human soul. Lost of the Seven Senses, the title of this series, describes a deeply debilitating state of shock, anxiety or fear in which the human body seems to have lost the ability to contain and control itself. Each image represents one of these seven bodily senses. 

三魂七魄中的七魄，是道教的觀念。此系列的名字《七魄悠悠》來自水滸傳： 謂七魄離身飄蕩。形容驚愕、昏厥或死亡。系列中七張畫各代表七魄之一：尸 狗，伏矢，雀陰，吞賊，非毒，除穢，臭肺。
