"Mythology Reborn: Paternal Virtues Through Guan Yu's Iconography"
Deconstructing the Three Kingdoms archetype, this work transposes Guan Yu's heroic symbolism onto contemporary fatherhood. The sculpture's formal language articulates five Confucian virtues:

Mǐn (compassionate discernment)

Wěn (grounded stability)

Kuān (expansive tolerance)

Hòu (uncompromising solidity)

Jìng (dynamic stillness)

By fusing Guan Yu's earth-shaking heroism with the paternal quietude that stabilizes worlds, the piece bridges cultural memory with personal homage.
