About this work

This is a plain black-and-white image with two sets of text. The top shows Chinese characters and the words "New Classic of Mountains and Seas." Below, it says "Qiu Anxiong" and "2008" in English. The design looks simple but bold, with a stark contrast between the text and the background. It’s part of a larger project—twelve prints in total.
