Inkstellar

Through macro imaging, Inkstellar turns "overnight ink" into celestial bodies. This "Great Void" transcends human vision, mimicking a galaxy to reveal cosmic energy akin to dark matter.

Focusing on the flow and seepage of "overnight ink" on rice paper, Inkstellar uses high-precision macro imaging to capture the subtle collision of water and ink. By transcending the limits of the human eye, it transforms ink particles into rhythmic celestial bodies. Amidst the dense atmosphere of Chinese wash, it constructs a majestic, boundless "Great Void" akin to a brilliant galaxy. The work reveals a cosmic energy—reminiscent of dark matter—surging from the ink, reaching the spiritual grandeur of the I Ching: "Great is the Primal Force; all things owe their beginning to it."
