Persimmon and Jars

This piece is inspired by the artist’s childhood memories. The vivid persimmons and intricately patterned bowl evoke scenes from the artist’s upbringing, where such objects were part of daily life and cultural rituals. The bright orange persimmons symbolize abundance, warmth, and nostalgia, while the ornate cloisonné-style bowl represents the traditional Chinese craftsmanship that surrounded the artist in their early years. The composition brings together still life and memory, transforming ordinary fruits and tableware into emotional artifacts. By using digital techniques that mimic the texture of handmade paper and brushwork, the artwork blends tradition with modernity, aiming to preserve fleeting moments of the past through contemporary visual storytelling.
