Dream of the Butterfly II (《夢蝶》 系列 2)

In this piece from the "Dream of the Butterfly" series, meticulous gongbi brushwork captures a butterfly amid lush botanical detail, its delicate wings rendered with rich, luminous colors. Classical poetry accompanies the image, weaving together visual and literary art. The butterfly, light, ephemeral, poised between stillness and flight, embodies the Zhuangzi-inspired theme that runs through all nine works in the series: the elusive boundary between dream and waking life, and the freedom found in nature's embrace.
