POST WINGS

The work presents a landscape of a pond's water surface using simple ink strokes. The scene simultaneously reveals the reflections on the water, the structural stems of the plants in the pond, and a low-flying red dragonfly, showcasing a multi-perspective viewing approach.

The composition does not establish a single, stable perspective system; instead, it superimposes the water's surface, the pond's bottom, and the sky at once on the same plane. This structure is not a formal experiment but arises from the actual viewing experience on-site—where the line of sight shifts as the body moves, leading to a natural overlap of the seen images. The red dragonfly appears as a minimalistic color dot, suggesting that the moisture from the rain has not yet dissipated, becoming the only temporal marker in the entire scene.

This piece reflects the creative characteristics of Zhao Er-dai during this period: responding to the natural setting with simple ink strokes, not pursuing a complete narrative but capturing the momentary state of "what is happening." Ink no longer serves as a symbolic language of emotion but becomes a direct record of observation and existence.
