Transience

Between light and time, beauty lingers— like flowers in a mirror, like the moon upon water. Seen, yet never held.

Transience 镜花水月

This work explores the fragile boundary between perception and reality. Inspired by “flowers in a mirror, the moon upon water,” it presents beauty as transient, vivid yet untouchable, present yet ever fading.

Echoing 1 Corinthians 13:12, the piece reflects on partial perception, where light, time, and memory soften clarity. Forms emerge and dissolve, suggesting that what we see is only a fleeting echo of something deeper—felt, but never fully held.
