Ocean Rhythm: Life 海韵·生命 – Zhang, Chuanbin 张传斌 – 2012

Life in the ocean is depicted as a cluster-like form, resembling a sphere. From a philosophical perspective, this sphere represents a central point, a singularity of the universe, and the origin of all things. Within this sphere are a variety of lines, colorful, clean, and precise, cutting across the paper like blades, full of force and speed. When all the lines come together, they form an overarching sense of collective consciousness, a consciousness that drifts and flows through the vast ocean.

海洋世界中的生命，是一个团状体，类似一个球，从哲学概念来说，这个球是一个中心点，是宇宙的奇点，是一切的起源。在这个球中，是各式各样的线条，这些线条五颜六色，干净而利落，在纸面上划过犹如刀锋划过一样，充满着力度与速度，当所有的线条结合起来以后，整体的线条就呈现出了一种群体性意识，这种意识在大海中游曳。
