About the artwork
In this sketch, part of a series, an abstract human figure stands on a rock in a series of positions, each growing more complex than the other. The figure uses one foot to keep balance and rests the other on top while holding what seems to be fruit from the proverbial Tree of Enlightenment. This figure has acquired the ability to control their human consciousness and let go of it to reach spiritual awakening. Through this sketch, Xie conveys the significance of being one with your soul, nature, and mind.
