This painting is part of the ‘Seeing Off Without Seeing’ series, capturing scenes of parting that extend beyond the horizon. The artist plays with the contrast between small figures and vast surroundings to evoke strong emotions within intimate spaces. Rather than focusing on facial expressions, subtle gestures suggest the concealed emotions. The piece also explores themes tied to the symbolic meaning of roofing materials. Its emptiness speaks of loss and regret while aesthetically creating an ideorealm that extends beyond the frame, in alignment with traditional Chinese ink painting.
