A Visual Experiment of Mastering Complexity through Simplicity

The visual array composed of over a hundred black-and-white totems serves as the most direct presentation of "A Myriad Forms, One Seal." These are not mere arrangements of symbols, but rather a visual exploration unfolding between "multiplicity and unity," and "form and spirit." Each individual grid acts as a distinct "seal" in its own right; yet, when brought together, they collectively generate a rich and profound visual universe.

Black and white were chosen as the primary visual language, deliberately discarding the emotional interference of color to focus attention on lines, structures, and spatial relationships. The interplay between black and white, the solid and the void, the manifest and the hidden, returns the imagery to its most fundamental visual elements. This also echoes the philosophical concept of being "sealed by a single Dharma": the myriad forms of the world can ultimately be traced back to their most essential relationships.

These seemingly abstract figures are not simple depictions of physical reality, but rather a distillation of the "imagery" of nature and life. Some lines carry a divine, transcendent power; some forms are as restrained as flower buds; some structures flow like drifting clouds; while others are as deep as swirling eddies in water. They are not replicas of reality, but visual imprints transformed through the inner self—traces left behind after gazing upon the world.
