Indian Ink on Tracing Paper
"Totems" is a series of contemporary calligraphies that reinvents the ancestral symbols of totem animals through amodern and refined aesthetic. Revered across cultures, these totem animals embody deities, ancestors, and protectors. By contrasting the fluidity of Chinese ink with the roughness of tracing paper, the artist aims to capture their spiritual essence and mysticism. This innovative series reveals a contemporary vision that engages with the past, offering a profound reflection on our intimate connection with the natural world and its timeless symbols.
