VOID — MIRROR OF SQUARE AND CIRCLE

313 x 235 cm, medium: mixed media on canvas (YEAR: 2026)

SQUARE IS THE MIRROIR, CIRCLE THE SHADOW; WITHIN A REALM OF SQUARE, ALL WORDLY SCENES FADE INTO VOID.

Void·Mirror of Square and Circle constructs an aesthetic realm of oriental spirituality with a huge square canvas, establishing the core artistic philosophy that the square serves as a clear mirror, and the circle embodies ethereal shadow.

Integrating rubbing and ink-blending techniques, the work deconstructs the traditional symbol of perfect roundness. The circular motifs drift and fragment amid the tonal layers of celestial radiance, rosy clouds and earthly hues, blurring the boundary between tangible forms and abstract artistic conception.

The square symbolizes established worldly order and tangible boundaries, while the circle implies transient mortal affairs and the void state of inner mind. The two mirror and echo each other.

Vintage textures carry the charm of passing years, and blazing red hues illuminate the essence of nihility. Adopting minimalist contemporary artistic expressions, it interprets the profound Zen philosophy that emptiness is form and all existence returns to nothingness, and embodies the spiritual essence of cosmic samsara and the impermanence of mortal world.
