About the artwork

The man standing alone at the edge of the sea appears comfortable in his solitude, closing his eyes and listening to the sounds of the ocean with a wistful expression on his face. Wu Qiong's characters are a reflection of maturity and childlike innocence, often expressing simple but profound ideas. Is the man searching for answers in the wind? Or is he simply listening to the sounds that the world offers? In any case, Wu Qiong shows us the beauty and comfort of taking a step back from life to simply listen to what it offers.
