Wrinkled xuan paper rises like mountains, while mineral pigments sink deep into its textured surface.
Scorched traces of burning and the trajectories of wind and fire converge across the image, forming unknown symbols—an encounter where Eastern and Western mythologies enter into dialogue.
The blood of the fire-stealer and the staff of the sun-chaser fall into the same charred fissure.
Within the ashes, the chains of Prometheus and the hand bones of Kuafu intertwine into the shape of an X—two figures who suffered for light colliding in the depths of time.
Where wind and fire have passed, there is no answer, and no end.
