My interpretation of the Wu Xing (Five Elements) cycle using markers and metallic markers
I recently created this artwork inspired by the Chinese concept of Wu Xing (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water).
My goal was to visualize the flow and transformation between the elements rather than depict them as separate forces.
The piece was drawn with alcohol markers and metallic markers and was created as a personal gift for my husband, so it is not for sale.
For those familiar with Wu Xing, I'd love to hear your thoughts on how the relationships between the elements come across in the composition.
