Within the enigmatic chiaroscuro of Wang's creations, one discerns the whispers of three potent influences: the historical inertia of cultural legacy, the dominant ethos of materialist science, and the virtual personas shaping our digital milieu. Yet, amidst this trinity, it is the delicate dance between perception and reality, steeped in the rich tapestry of Eastern ethos, that breathes life into Wang's canvases.
