INNER MEDITATION

内 省 冥 想

My art, INNER MEDITATION, evokes the spiritual nature of meditation. Five smaller artworks, representing microcosmic sensations, surround a macrocosmic piece with painting, sculpture, lights, sounds, and interactions to create a stable, immersive meditative space.

The suspended mixed media painting in the middle captures the macroscopic experience within the human body during meditation. Depicting the intricate interaction of three figures representing essence (精), energy (气), and spirit (神) as they flow throughout the body and mind, this visual narrative traces the journey of soul circulation, encapsulating the profound essence of meditative transcendence. Five smaller hanging artworks surround the main piece, delving into the subtle microcosm of meditative sensations through abstract forms.

Viewers become part of the artwork, sitting or laying at the bottom, observing the inner workings of the human body. The frequency of the flashing lights, the heartbeat rhythm of the background music, and the breathing cadence of the audience harmoniously blend together. Mirrored paper extends the inner space, conveying the transcendental nature of meditation. Meanwhile, viewers can freely explore the works, presenting the active nature of the meditative world.

Together, they serve as portals to the serene realm of meditation, guiding observers on a transformative journey of introspection and tranquility. In a tumultuous world, my art offers a beacon of peace, inviting all to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the gentle power of the present moment.
