The work is the new 2024 cover design for Frontiers
Magazine, blending contemporary design language with
traditional cultural elements.
Continuing the symbolic approach to character design, it
integrates calligraphic brushstrokes to create a dialogue
between the ancient and the modern. The design draws
inspiration from Wang Wei’s line “Sit and gaze on cloud rising
over the mountain.” from his poem My Hermitage in
Zhongnan Mountain. Through negative-space processing of
the text, a unique symbolic system is constructed. By varying
the density of elements and adjusting visual rhythm, the
composition echoes the poetic mood of the verse.
