Stars Like a Thousand Fireflies
The poem by Ge Chang-geng, written on long paper, unfolds a scene of solitude beneath the night sky.
Drawing inspiration from Dong Qichang’s calligraphy, I carefully selected each form, allowing characters to flow with subtle variation and resonance.
The work was unexpectedly recognized in a calligraphy journal — not merely as practice, but as a piece that carries presence and atmosphere.
Calligraphy, when guided by the classics yet given a personal voice, transcends study and becomes art. This piece invites quiet contemplation, offering a refined accent to the space it inhabits.
