Artwork title : Zen Cloud

The smoke and clouds are flying, melting together, shuttling in the burning fire.

Here are many things in the fire.

The ashes are scattered in the flow of smoke, and it is difficult to see whether it is ash, smoke, or water mist, which is haunting the sky.

The wood that has become black carbon before the ashes exists solidly there; the wood before the carbon is the backbone that allows the fire to continue to burn for a prolonged time because it has already ignited, and there is also a thick material that can be transformed over time, and the warm crimson flashes with the heart of the fire.

Rendered into orange-red wood is the rescuer when the fire is about to quench, it could quickly catch the fire, ignite it with the blowing of the air, and fly lightly with sparks; the thinnest material exists when the fire is not formed at the very beginning. But in fact, it’s not easy for a fire to be lit. The nidus of fire demands to be surrounded by a shelter made by woods, and keep the space let the air in. Otherwise, there is no element of air, only the material is. It's not the body of fire.

The nidus to become a fire is the human body, the wood ignited is the fate in the journey of life, the variety of fires are shining on us all the time, and we are also dazzling and fiery light immediately.

Smoke and ashes will not be the end of fire life, but we will eventually return to nature, become nutrients, and stretch nurture life.
