About the artwork

Lim Tze Peng writes the characters from 寻隐者不遇 or In Search of One Who Could Not be Found by Jia Dao (779 - 843) - a Tang Dynasty poet. The entire poem reads: 松下问童子, 言師釆药去。只在此山中, 云深不知处。 Translated, it reads: I questioned a pupil under a pine tree; he spoke of his teacher having left to collect herbs. But amongst these deep clouds and mountains, one knows not where he dwells.
