我访我友 时值初春
It is early spring, I pay a visit to my friend
鸥翔于野 花隐于滨
Seagulls fly over the field, flowers hide in the riverbanks
月盈日亏 天地失辉
The moon swells, the sun declines. The sky and earth loose their colors
我有大志 但去毋归
I have Ambitions. I know only to depart, not to return
A tribute to Chinese literati brush-and-ink painting, 'Solar Eclipse in Early Spring' weaves non-linear visual and textual storytelling, connecting a natural phenomenon to my personal endeavor with subtle yet expressive metaphors: In this case, a trip visiting a friend is cast over with a shadow. As the buds of unrequited love struggle to bloom, I ultimately embrace freedom, akin to the fleeting birds soaring overhead. This work invites viewers to consider their own journeys through love, loss, and the pursuit of liberation.
