“一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，应作如是观”

此为金刚经中著名偈语，这幅作品是画家对此偈语的感悟和诠释，直观地表现了“诸法性空”的佛学真谛，画面从右往左所描绘的皆是世间色相，水墨的氤氲又表现出诸法空相的虚无缥缈，亦是顿悟解脱的一个过程展现，此作品大胆借鉴了西方解构主义表现手法，即打碎、残缺、重组。亦有中国画中锦灰堆和八破图的意味，是画家近年来融汇东西方元素的一种新地表现手法。

The quoted passage, "一切有为法，如梦幻泡影，如露亦如电，应作如是观," is a renowned verse from the Diamond Sutra. This artwork represents the artist's contemplation and interpretation of this verse, offering a vivid portrayal of the Buddhist truth of "all conditioned phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, like dew, like lightning; thus should you observe them."

The composition unfolds from right to left, depicting various worldly appearances. The ethereal ink wash captures the elusive and empty nature of all phenomena. It visually conveys a process of enlightenment and liberation. Boldly incorporating techniques from Western deconstructionism, such as fragmentation, incompleteness, and reorganization, the artwork also incorporates elements reminiscent of traditional Chinese painting techniques like jin hui dui (stacking of shades of ink) and bapo tu (the Eight Fragments). This amalgamation of Eastern and Western elements reflects the artist's innovative approach in recent years.
