About the Artwork：

A Modern Awakening Before Dunhuang. Wang Yi. Ink and color on rice paper.

This artwork showcases a beautiful modern young woman, seated cross-legged in front of a Dunhuang mural folding screen, cradling a scripture in her hands. The wisdom emanating from the pages of the scripture sparks contemplation within her, as she embodies the purity of mind and spirit, akin to a blooming lotus placed before her. The celestial beings depicted on the screen exude a solemn yet benevolent aura, holding fresh flowers and treasures as if to commend the rise of Buddhahood and the enlightenment attained by the woman. This scene bridges the ancient wisdom of Dunhuang with the contemporary quest for understanding and inner peace, reflecting a journey of spiritual enlightenment and the nurturing of one's innate Buddha nature.
