The Journey to One presents a painterly wonderland where the sky and the ground have unlimited boundaries. The concept draws inspiration from Daoist philosophy, which suggests that ‘the Dao gave birth to one, from that appeared two, then three, and from three generated the myriad things of the universe.’ The artist believes this ‘one’ serves as the origin of everything, representing the law of growth in all natural things and the birth of human life. Shens work is a lifelike cosmos that ‘creates an ideal world for the people’s heart’, providing solace in times of intense chaos and uncertainty. It serves as a relief in this traumatic world.
