Wind and Tide explores the relationship between natural forces, movement and the passage of time. Beneath a dark, expansive sky, countless waves extend towards the horizon, their rhythmic patterns suggesting the continuous interaction between wind and water.
The painting draws on the visual language of traditional East Asian representations of water, where repeated lines transform the sea into a field of movement and rhythm. Rather than depicting a single dramatic event, the work considers the quieter persistence of natural processes. The contrast between the seemingly still horizon and the restless surface of the sea reflects a tension between stability and change, suggesting that continuity emerges not from stillness, but through constant transformation.
