Narcissus and Swimming Fish (水仙遊魚)

Fresh white narcissus with yellow centers stand above the water while fish glide freely below, their fluid forms adding dynamic movement to the serene composition. The inscription "安知魚樂" (How do you know the fish are happy?) references the famous Zhuangzi–Huizi debate, a foundational passage in Chinese philosophy about whether we can truly know the inner experience of other beings. This elegant pairing of flower and fish becomes a meditation on the boundary between observation and understanding.
