"Light Fan": The artwork "Light Fan" depicts the scorching heat of a midsummer day, where the sweltering conditions become nearly unbearable. As one gently waves a fan, ushering in a cool breeze, it evokes the words of Du Mu's poem: "Silver candles, autumn light, cold painting screens; a delicate gauze fan flutters, chasing fireflies. The night on the heavenly steps is cool as water, lying down, I watch the Cowherd and Weaver Girl stars." In this moment, the mind transcends to the realm of poetry, and amidst the oppressive summer heat, a sense of romanticism emerges. The color orange extends far beyond its role as a background element in the artwork; it serves as a vehicle for imagination. Summer is both scorching and a time of bountiful harvests, characterized by waiting. This waiting is serene and marks a covenant of the soul.
