This painting could be a depiction of a tranquil mountainous landscape, with peaks and valleys all bathed in the same heavenly blue light. Examined more closely, however, the lines and forms have a depth and texture that suggests a deeper meaning, perhaps recording acutely felt emotions at a certain point in time.
Emotions are a delicate and complex subject, often difficult to articulate. People often conceal their true feelings deep within themselves, using surface-level language to mask their emotions, much like hidden scenery or some unspoken secrets. The experience is presented as a series of works that showcase inner dialogues. From a distance, the scenes appear calm, but they hide countless fragmented, chaotic, and disorganized states. The content of the dialogues, the turmoil of the soul, and the process of reflection are all interwoven in lines that conceal chaos and serenity, the past and the future, stagnation and flow, happiness and sadness. These patterns, lines, and color blocks may be wordless, but they convey a deep and intimate communication that is tightly intertwined. They record abstractions, time, memory, and spiritual states.
