In Sha Qinghua's "Mechanical Landscapes" series, ancient rock surfaces are reimagined, with their myriad cavities morphing into intricate, interconnected fantasy gears. The ceaseless motion of these gears represents the enduring imprints of time's passage, prompting reflections on its relentless flow. Each gearwheel is a testament to the vast interconnectivity of the cosmos.

This painting draws a poignant juxtaposition between a humble abode and an imposing mountain, urging the viewer to contemplate humanity's fleeting existence against the vast canvas of geological epochs. It also encourages introspection of our place and purpose within the vast universe.
