Original artwork description:

The bowed neck and prominently arched back of the stallion embody a restrained power, with every undulation of muscle marking the silent passage of dedicated years. The raised neck of the foal, together with the structural dynamics formed against the parent's body, speaks to the true essence of inheritance and transcendence: genuine shelter is not a nest that clips wings, but a plateau that can be surpassed.

I seek to blur the boundaries between biological texture and rocky veins, allowing the paternal form to exhibit both the eternal quality of a mountain and the warmth of life. This is the "whisper" in Mountain Whispers—an unspoken resonance, like the harmony of mountains and rivers. Paternal love, compared to a mountain, does not imply immovable weight, but rather, like a mountain range shaping its own climate, becomes the very spiritual landscape for descendants.

The hooves merge into the mountainous earth, recording two kinds of time: one is the erosion left by the parent's body weathering storms, the other is the life trajectory of the new generation rising from this foundation.
