Subtle Shadows and Faint Fragrance

Pavilion amid branches painted with sulfur dioxide, coal dust, and iron rust on canvas — inspired by Lin Bu’s line “Sparse shadows slant across the clear shallows; faint fragrance drifts at dusk.” 枝叶间的亭台，用二氧化硫、煤炭和铁锈在画布上绘制，灵感来自林逋的诗句“疏影横斜水清浅，暗香浮动月黄昏”。 — Sulfur dioxide, coal dust, and iron rust on canvas, 2022 — branches and light weave together, as if fragrance and memory drift through dusk.

Inspired by Lin Bu’s line “Sparse shadows slant across the clear shallows; faint fragrance drifts under the moon at dusk,” this work depicts a glowing pavilion hidden among tree branches. Coal dust and rust react to form a delicate network of silhouettes, turning the scene into a suspended moment of quiet illumination.
