The Spirit of Mountain

Exploring the synergy between nature and the man-made by reconstructing the relationship between mountains, waters, plants and buildings

My drawing – The Spirit of Mountain – explores cities and nature as separate entities that are often juxtaposed. The combination of a real working city with nature is certainly much more complicated than a formal concept as seen in The Spirit of Mountain, but in this work my aim is to provide a vision for the future city.

The Spirit of Mountain - Weicheng Ye

One of the inspirations for my work is spatial sequencing as found in Chinese classical gardens. A good example is Dongyuan Garden(《东园图》),a famous painting depicting the traditional Chinese Garden. In this painting, you can see a series of scenes that unfold from right to left. They are full of stories and interesting details. It is a bit like a continuous cartoon put together. To my mind, spatial sequencing is a kind of spatial rhythm feeling similar to music.
