In this painting,

cold fireworks bloom in borrowed colors.

Their shadows, by chance, overlap—

they move forward without hesitation,

through red walls,

through ancient gates,

through headless figures.

When night becomes a shackle,

they remain helpless—

still, headless figures,

swept and overturned

by the rising tide of darkness.

Yet they do not stop.

They do not turn.

And still—

it is a beautiful picture.

In Endless, time drifts like color across a still canvas—soft, layered, unresolved. Inspired by a quiet, dreamlike tension, the piece moves forward through shadows and silence, through thresholds that blur memory and identity. Figures appear and disappear, faceless and tireless, walking through unseen gates, wrapped in a night that both holds and resists them.

There is no clear beginning, no final arrival—only an unfolding, like cold fireworks painted in fading light. In their persistence, something delicate emerges: a beauty that exists not despite the weight of the night, but within it. Endless is a journey of transformation without conclusion—where overlapping traces speak of longing, resilience, and the fragile poetry of simply continuing.

无尽

在这幅画里

冰冷的烟火被上了颜色

谁和谁的影子恰好重叠

他们只是径直往前走

穿过红墙 穿过栅门

穿过一个个没有头颅的人

当黑夜化身成一把枷锁

无奈他们是没有头颅的人

被黑夜的浪潮掀翻

他们没有停下

却是一幅唯美画卷
