Description
Hexagram 57: Riding the Wind (30×30 mixed media on panel) is a view looking straight up through bare tree trunks toward a hawk soaring across a bisected sun. The doubled wind trigrams run as vertical bands of color — cool blues and greens on one side, warm yellows and orange on the other — meeting in a central circle split between sky-blue and gold. The hawk, wings spread wide, rides the unseen currents between these two realms. The painting captures the essence of Xun — the Gentle, the Penetrating, Wind: the quiet, persistent force that passes through all things and reaches where strength cannot. The bird in effortless flight, framed by the forest it moves through, embodies wind’s freedom — gentle yet unstoppable.
