Introduction
H-ding Chuang’s “Sky Ladder” presents a richly symbolic oil painting that combines vivid colors and abstract composition to create a layered visual space. The intertwining lines and curves evoke a sense of personal ascent or spiritual pursuit, with color choices amplifying emotional intensity. Reflecting her subjective interpretation rooted in personal and migratory experiences, the work explores the delicate relationship between viewer and external world through a compelling interplay of shape and hue. It invites us to climb the metaphorical “sky ladder,” seeking inner transcendence and emotional elevation.
