Artist's commentary
Papercraft commission of He Xuan and Shi Wudu!
I enjoyed the composition in this one - it’s such a striking, cinematic scene, I wanted the figures to look almost as if they were onstage at the end of a tragic play (the client specifically mentioned the famous “Alas, poor Yorick!” monologue from Hamlet), with the rolling waves of water framing the scene like curtains.
