Burst Forth
Water holds no fixed form
but is shaped by force.
A circle sets the bounds as
Qi tumbles and streams.
Whirling unabated
from within to without,
Life gathers in the hush
Upon the waves, as if fish leap;
One movement, one answer
All find ease as they are.
万物迸发
水不以形定
以势成
圆为界
气流转
旋而不止
由内而外
聚气于无声之间
浪之上似有鱼跃
一动一应
万物自在
Design Concept
The artwork’s design is bounded by a sphere, within which fluid lines whirl into a vortex. From below, a swell begins to rise, curving in arcs before surging upward, creating a vitality that transitions “from ease to action, from within to without.” The crests of the waves resemble leaping fish, brimming with exuberance.
The highest virtue is to live like water: to nourish without striving and to adapt without resistance. Water itself exemplifies the dynamic conservation of Taichi. Fish and water are interdependent, illustrating the harmonious way of “following the natural order” and coexisting with all things.
此作品已水为行，以浪为势。上善若水，利万物而不争。它的形态，顺应时势而变化。水本身，就是太极动态守恒的最佳印证。鱼与水你中有我，象征“道法自然”与万物同生的和谐之道。
