Wu Chui-Juan's "Stepping into the River of Time" depicts the rise of the technological age and the demise of human innocence. In the painting, a young boy steps barefoot into a river symbolizing the torrent of time; he no longer lingers in the purity of childhood but strides toward an irreversible future. Behind him, a robot holds a bright planet that represents the present universe, suggesting the birth of artificial intelligence and technological civilization, illuminating the path ahead while also implying the unknown and challenges. The flowers blooming on the left side of the painting contrast with the cracked background, symbolizing the resilience of life and the cruelty of time. This artwork is not only a metaphor for personal growth but also a profound reflection on human destiny amid rapid technological development: each of us is moving forward in the torrent of the era, transitioning from innocence to the unknown, stepping into the river of time.
