POST WINGS

The composition presents a minimalist depiction of a river with a small boat, where the figure is deliberately reduced in size, allowing the laboring silhouette to merge with the expansive white space. Zhao Erdai employs a nearly childlike approach to shape the figures, yet retains a sense of real weight and rhythm in the brushwork, creating a pure yet not naive visual language. The sky and water surface blend together, blurring the boundaries and suggesting the continuity of time's flow. This piece does not depict the act of fishing itself, but rather presents a state of interdependence between daily labor and the rhythms of nature, quiet and profound.
