The work 'Dawn' stemmed from the series of geometric landscapes, employing a flatter and simpler style to create landscape. The abstracted forms blur the directionality of objects, echoing the concept from the I Ching that 'the only constant in the world is change itself.' Rocks merge with crystals, tree crowns blend with clouds, and forms fluidly intermingle, suggesting a continuous state of flux. Tree branches resembles blood vessels, nerves, or mycelium, implying a "distant resemblance" to each other as Stephen Hawking made it.

This painting adopts the intermediate tones of the faint dawn sky, with two layers of silk, overlaid with light gold powder, creating a dim and ambiguous atmosphere, reminiscent of the alternating moments between day and night.

The hollows weaving through the forest in the left part open up the landscape space, leading to different parallel worlds, at the same time implying 'others' in parallel universes, gazing back at the viewer.

《既白》这一作品源于几何风景系列,采用更加平面化和简约的风格来构建风景。抽象的形式模糊了物体的方向性,呼应了《易经》中“世间唯一不变的是变化本身”的概念。岩石与晶体相融,树冠与云层交汇,形态自由交错,暗示出一种持续的变动状态。树枝像血管、神经或菌丝,正如斯蒂芬·霍金所说,暗示着彼此之间的“遥远相似”。


这幅画采用了清晨天空的中间色调,层叠两层丝绸,并撒上淡金粉,营造出一种朦胧而模糊的氛围,仿佛白昼与黑夜交替的瞬间。在画面左侧,穿梭于森林中的空隙打开了风景空间,通向不同的平行世界,同时暗示着平行宇宙中的“他者”正凝视着观者。
