Description
Rendered in the meticulous gongbi (fine brushwork) tradition, a butterfly dances gracefully among intricately depicted plants, brought vividly to life through delicate strokes and rich colors. The series title "Dream of the Butterfly" evokes Zhuangzi's famous philosophical parable about the boundary between dream and reality. Paired with classical poetry, each work in this nine-piece series adds layers of poetic resonance, the lightness of the butterfly becoming a symbol of dreams, freedom, and the harmonious coexistence of all living things.
