In merging guzheng music and black-and-white landscape prints from film photography, multimedia methodology accords a new lease of life to old objects. This showcases the Oriental ideas of returning to nature, dynamic flow, leaving room for imagination (such as the Chinese art technique of liubai, or ‘leaving patches untouched by colour’), a vision that crosses time and space, and the artists’ insistence in adhering to traditional skills, heritage, the innovative spirit and development.

Crafted individually by the artist, it is a guaranteed original creation, printed on archival-quality materials. This certificate serves as official documentation of its authenticity and should be stored securely with the artwork.
