Description

This painting centers on a striking circular void, held in tension by two Han Chi figures derived from the ancient chicken heart jade pendant 2,200 years ago of the Han Dynasty. They face one another across the empty core, their mirrored yet fluid forms suggesting both balance and quiet vigilance. Rather than being rendered as rigid artifacts, the guardians dissolve into expressive, organic shapes—part creature, part memory.

The composition is framed within a hexagonal boundary suggesting harmony of physical world and spiritual world filled with a deep, saturated blue that evokes an expansive sky or cosmic field. Around the figures, stylized clouds curl in pale tones, while waves gather at the base in rhythmic, repeating lines. Mountain forms rise along the edges, grounding the scene in a symbolic landscape that feels both earthly and mythic.

The empty circle becomes more than absence—it reads as a portal, a sun, or a space of potential, watched over by these ancient forms.
