◉Synopsis An old man sits alone on a barren wasteland, enveloped in silence. When he draws a tree on the ground with a worn pencil, the line sprouts to life, blooming into flowers and grass, spreading vividly with new life. Before long, trees and flowers imbued with the breath of life gently surround the old man, and the world quietly regains its radiance. Amid that scene, the old man feels at peace and offers a gentle smile. ◉Artist Statement An old man sits in a wasteland, and each time he draws a line with a pencil, life emerges and a forest spreads forth—. This story presents the idea that “creation continues into the future” as a fable. By blending the warm texture of clay with AI-driven transformative expression, I hope that in the instant the line pierces the sky, branches and leaves of the future will also spread within the viewer’s heart. As a visual experience that transcends words, I want to convey a sense of renewal and hope.
