This painting was created in 2019. This year is the third year of college. I started to prepare for my graduation work, so I tried paintings with more concepts, depth and formal unity. In these paintings, you Being able to begin to see a more specific me. Such attempts did add weight to the work, but it was only a small step compared to the depth that would later come with the weight of life. Then came the COVID-19 epidemic at the end of the year, and the future that people expected changed its face, either urgently or slowly.

Creative themes and style | My works revolve around the creative concept of "The land of humanity, People on the land". The people in the painting are people in nature, and the lines, shapes, and colors are close to nature. The nature in the painting is nature in the eyes of humans, existing in interaction with humans.I don’t pursue a series of works with a fixed and continuous style. I hope that the style of the pictures will synchronize with the changes in my life and always remain oscillating. The performance of the work must be in sync with the development of one's own life in order to be Sincere and powerful. Ideas are later.

A1: The painting presents two female figures who resemble each other, as though they are dual reflections of the same self. One holds an umbrella, her demeanor slightly restrained; the other carries a pink fan and a square handbag, her posture more assured. This juxtaposition may suggest the divergence between inner and outer selves, or a dialogue with the self across the passage of time.
A2: The overall tonality leans toward gray-green, with austere facial expressions and a sparse, empty backdrop, evoking an atmosphere heavy with chill. The cold wind is never depicted directly, yet it is palpable in the characters’ expressions, the folds of their clothing, and the aura that permeates the scene.
A3: The small fan is one of the few bright elements in the composition, standing in contrast to the otherwise muted, cold setting. It disrupts the somber mood and serves as a metaphor—suggesting tenderness or a fleeting warmth, as if resisting the pervasive “cold wind.”
A4: The umbrella and fan symbolize different modes of response: one shelters from rain, the other moderates heat. When placed within the same frame, they create a paradox—cold and heat, concealment and release—heightening the inner sense of contradiction embedded in the work.
A5: The work radiates a mood of cool restraint, distance, and a touch of solitude. The doubled self stands side by side yet remains disengaged, as though maintaining distance within the same space. This stillness embodies the psychological projection of Cold Wind.
