The Rising Breath is a profound meditation on presence and potential in the spirit of Zen and Dao. A dense, infinite blackness dominates, enveloping the viewer in an atmosphere of contemplation and untapped possibilities. From this depth, luminous, delicate white brushstrokes rise in the left area of the painting. They seem to spiral upwards, like a rising breath, a veil of mist, or the first awakening of light in the darkness.
In contrast, or perhaps as a complement, a structured yet subtle form is found in the lower right area. It stands as a symbol for form in the formless, the hidden order in chaos, a Daoist principle that reveals the unity of all being.
This minimalist painting invites us to feel beyond the visible. It speaks of the fullness of emptiness—a central idea in Zen, where nothingness is the condition for everything. It is a visual poem that invites the viewer to feel the subtle movements of the mind and nature and to find the deep, calming silence that hides beyond the surface. A powerful statement for spaces that encourage inner reflection.
