Summit Over All 会当凌绝顶
Sulfur dioxide, coal dust, and iron rust on canvas, 2022 — a lone peak rises into a haloed sky, echoing Du Fu’s line “When I reach the summit, all mountains seem small.”
This work draws from Du Fu’s Gazing at Mount Tai, especially the line “When I reach the summit, all mountains seem small.” The mountain, rendered in coal dust, stands upright like a spiritual monument, while the rust-colored sky swirls with energy, turning the scene into a vision of striving and transcendence.
