"Old Winds," in the artist's view, evokes a natural environment, perhaps a section of a gorge encircled by mountain peaks, where dense fog sinks into the landscape. Certain areas appear to recede into the canvas, while others seem to emerge outward. Fuchsia-colored oil stick marks suggest rays of light at dawn or dusk, contributing to the atmospheric depth of the work. The red, burgundy, and black dots or discs serve as visual anchors, helping to orient the viewer within the vast spatial scale of the composition. Just as a geological formation embodies deep time, a painting functions as a time capsule—a preserved relic of its once-fluid state. The title reflects the notion that the past persists in the present, albeit in altered forms. Winds traverse time, terrain, and cultures, carrying traces of history with them.
