and logical constraints based on the order of traditional typesetting into a world of simultaneous and immediate reception, thereby generating new poetry.\n\n In the work ki\/u, falling rain is depicted by arranging countless Chinese characters based on the syllables \"ki\" and \"u.\" Starting with the syllables of the word \"kiu,\" which means to pray for rain, the artist connected these to existing words such as \"kiu\" (meaning \"spirit of rain\"), \"kiu\" (meaning \"happy rain\"), \"kiu\" (meaning \"tree rain\"), \"oni-ame\" (meaning \"demon rain\"), \"ameki\" (meaning \"rainy season\"), and \"ameki\" (meaning \"rainy season\"), and ultimately selected around 50 different Chinese characters through further derivations.\n \nAs Ernest Fenollosa called Chinese characters \"thought-pictures,\" Chinese characters, which have complicated writing systems rather than rationalizing them over their long history, contain in their shapes the appearance of nature and people, objects, and emotions. Freed from lines, the Chinese characters exist simultaneously in the work, and have the potential to connect with all the other Chinese characters on the same plane. When the Chinese characters meet each other through the bond in the viewer's line of sight, all kinds of inspiration is born. The form, syllables, and meanings of the Chinese characters interact and intertwine, and the work is presented as a place where the Chinese characters resonate with each other through the image of prayer.\u003ch3\u003e ■Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProduction year: 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Edition: 1\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize: H410×W318×D20(mm)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaterial: mixed media on canvas\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n \u003cli\u003eDelivery time: It will take about 2 weeks to 1 month from the date of purchase.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandling: PlusArt Co., Ltd.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e ■ Regarding shipping fees\n\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e All shipping charges for artworks sold at +ART Online Gallery are cash on delivery.
