This painting is part of the artist's “Scroll series”, showing her pursuit of poetry literati, taking inspirations from every day life, illustrated through a Chinese way of surrealism by using scrolls as the carrier in the painting - the scroll becomes the water that the goldfish swims in, with mountains as backdrop.
You can tell the artist is a keen reader, she understands the amount of energy and effort required to create a good book, and when the readers read, their own thoughts interact with the author's messages, creating a quality dialogue transcending space and time!
The artist illustrates such interaction visually through the scroll series, with an attempt to raise her audience’s interest in reading.
