+ OVERVIEW

In this photograph, the artist utilizes a conch shell, wine glass, and a cup filled with cherries-everyday objects with heterogeneous properties and composition-to convey emotions free of the constraints of space and time. The subtly shaded backdrop of the piece invokes the textural resilience and spirituality of Chinese ink wash paintings, while the seemingly irregular but methodically arranged placement of the objects exemplifies the modesty and serenity of Eastern intellectual thought.

There is no dramatic tension within this piece, either visually or spatially, but the viewer cannot help but experience a fluid sense of continuity as their gaze moves effortlessly between the objects portrayed in a sense of timeless abstraction.
