Description
In this serene landscape, two travelers glide across quiet waters toward a hidden cottage at the foot of towering cliffs. The journey — simple in action, profound in spirit — evokes the timeless Chinese ideal of friendship rooted in shared understanding. Carrying a qin, the symbol of cultivated refinement, the visitor seeks not only a companion, but a resonant soul. Through mountain and mist, music and silence, this work honors the enduring power of connection across time and distance.
