Artist's commentary
新年快乐
纤线芊芊牵茜茜千星
环寰洹洹换涣涣万象
Her slender thread threads the thousand flourish stars
Her celestial water waters the million distinctive scenes
背景是M42猎户座大星云;古人云“三星高照,新年来到。”三星即为猎户座腰带三星,每年新年前后猎户座都会于入夜后午夜前上中天。
The background picture shows the M42 Orion Nebula; this object is chosen because Orion's Belt serves as a traditional symbol for the Chinese New Year--it transits after the blue hour on each Chinese New Year's Eve.
你即是无光之夜的星光。
我亦会照亮这无边黑夜。
Tu lux sine stellis noctics.
Ego inluminare stellis noctis.
