The image is rendered with extremely restrained lines, depicting a horse standing with its head held high. Zhao Er Dai does not seek intricate detail; instead, he shapes the structure using lines that resemble incised marks, causing the form to emerge with strong tension against the black background. In Chinese culture, the horse often symbolizes strength, freedom, and journeys. In this work, the horse is not galloping but rather paused at a moment that hovers between movement and stillness. This posture seems like a buildup of energy — both a gaze before the departure and an awareness of the distant. Through the simplification of form and enhancement of contours, the artist transforms the animal image into a spiritual symbol, making the "horse" not just a natural object but a metaphor for power and will.
