Mountain Reed

About this artwork

Mountain Reed captures the eternal dialogue between solidity and grace. The mountain rises in layered impasto strokes of brown and olive, symbolising endurance, while the reed bends in pale ivory arcs, embodying adaptability. Lao Tzu's wisdom flows through this contrast — that true strength is found in softness and permanence in change. The tactile texture transforms the scene into a meditation on balance, where the immovable and the yielding coexist in harmony.
