Centred on the split-second of a table-tennis serve, this work reinterprets the racket, ball, and hand through contemporary gongbi, layering these visual motifs to reshape spatial-temporal order. Pale, fluid washes trace kinetic energy, arresting transience on paper. By re-symbolising these fragments, it contemplates the instant versus the perennial, blending traditional ink aesthetics with modern sports iconography into a cohesive conceptual vision.
