Cyclical Horizons

Cyclical horizons, curved lines, can be divided into two types: 1. Curved and closed lines; 2. curved but unclosed vortices or horizon lines. These two varieties can be extended and developed to produce multiple variations, expressing different directions as gravity turns. For instance, viewing the earth from space one's perspective on three-dimensional buildings changes in accordance with the horizon and gravity.
When various curved horizon lines are placed in the same picture and the land can be connected together, this type of painting is categorized as "cyclical horizons." I feel that cyclical horizons more effectively express the concept of the curving and cyclical time and space of the universe. (Written by Su Hsin-tien and translated by David J. Toman)
