The inspiration for my "Floating Clouds" series comes from my walks amidst the waves on the south shore of Long Island. During these strolls, I am often reminded of Li Bai's poem, "Floating clouds, the thoughts of a wanderer." The imagery of swimmers riding the waves and travelers returning home after countless voyages resonates deeply with me. It symbolizes our adventurous spirit as humans, setting sail to discover and land on new territories.
There’s also something profoundly beautiful about witnessing the moon rising over the sea and sky, blending into one harmonious scene. This series is my way of connecting with Li Bai's poetry in a tangible way. It’s a romantic depiction of nature, and it captures my personal experiences of solitude and self-exploration in these natural settings.
我创作 "浮云 "系列的灵感来自于在长岛南岸海浪中的漫步。在漫步的过程中,我常常会想起李白的诗句:"浮云游子意"。游泳者乘风破浪,旅行者历尽千辛万苦归来,这些意象深深地引起了我的共鸣。它象征着我们人类的冒险精神,扬帆起航,去发现和登陆新的领土。
当月亮升起,海天一色,融为一体时,也有一种深邃的美感。这组作品是我与李白诗歌联系的具体方式。它是对大自然的浪漫描绘,也捕捉了我在这些自然环境中独处和自我探索的个人经历。
