POST WINGS

"Vision" is a life poem painted with color. The canvas captures the dynamic moment of several sailboats about to leave the shore through intersecting strokes of thick paint and palette knife. The artwork does not pursue realistic depiction; instead, it traverses between abstraction and figuration, expressing the flow of emotion and time with intense colors and rhythms. The left side of the sea is built using dark green and ochre, creating a sense of depth and shifting light on the water's surface, while the right side is layered with fiery red and deep orange, symbolizing the unknown and passion of the journey ahead, full of challenges and allure. In the center, the sailboats are constructed with interwoven strokes of black, white, blue, and yellow, as if representing life continuously adjusting its direction between light and shadow. The sunlight in the painting is not gentle; it is composed of diagonal white scratches and intersecting golden strokes, piercing through the canvas, symbolizing breakthroughs and hope. This is a work depicting "a new beginning"—not just the departure of the boats, but the determination of the soul to step onto unknown lands.
