In Mediha Ting's "Purple Mist" (紫霞), the ethereal dance of butterflies amidst a tapestry of gilded hues and deep violets invites viewers into a realm where time and space converge. Ting's meticulous rendering of translucent winged figures against a backdrop of dissolving grids and textural veils creates a visual symphony of transformation and memory. The triptych structure, reminiscent of sacred altarpieces, amplifies the work's contemplative aura, drawing parallels between the fleeting beauty of nature and the enduring whispers of bygone civilizations. "Purple Mist" is a masterful exploration of the liminal spaces between the tangible and intangible, where the delicate flutter of a butterfly's wings carries echoes of ancient whispers.
Mediha Ting’s My Butterfly Series: Purple Mist (紫霞) (2024) unfolds like an illuminated manuscript of ephemeral beauty—one part celestial altarpiece, one part urban dreamscape. The work’s triptych structure, crowned by an arched panel, evokes a quiet sense of the sacred, where gilded hues dissolve into deep violets, and butterflies drift like spectral messengers between dimensions. These winged figures, meticulously rendered yet delicately translucent, emerge and recede through a haze of layered pigment, their presence both fleeting and eternal. The lattice of geometric forms, dissolving grids, and textural veils suggests an architectural memory—perhaps the scaffolding of a forgotten metropolis or the ghostly remnants of ink bleeding through old silk scrolls.
