Contemporary Chinese Calligraphy
stories, narratives and identity
bloomberg philanthropy event
December 2023
Time traveling, painting turtle shell, small creatures and oracle bone inscriptions. The origin of making sense, sharing stories, but ignore what does not have to be shared.
“wei”, subtle, tiny, profound, delicate,
the small things we hardly see,
barely noticeable
Quiet, there is a deeper layer of wisdom hidden in the smallest things and how meaning is defined and shared. Everything is there. Lean forward, pay attention. The world is full of them, just under the surface, soft shadows, everywhere.
