Original artwork description:

The contemplation of the essence of time and civilization runs through my creation. Starting from linear experiments, I try to use abstract language to express an individual's reflection on civilization. The concept of “line” and “time” is very similar in that both are nonexistent inventions, and are mental "diagrams" of human beings who cut time and space. Using lines to express time is actually the abstraction of an abstraction. At the same time, the Mobius ring in my work is a metaphor for my reflection on the Chinese civilization that I have been immersed in for a long time: under the constantly changing surface, there underneath is a kind of logic of homogeneous circulation. The paradox is that it always makes people feel that they are about to arrive at a critical “transition period” or a “node”, which evokes people's illusion and desire, whether it is the end of suffering or a new beginning. But in fact, all these are endless iterations on the inevitable track.

This work was created on high-quality linen ,and shipped rolled in a tube. Simply take it to your local framer to have it stretched/mounted.
This artwork does not have to be framed. The edges are colored .
