頡有四目，仰觀垂象。因儷鳥龜之跡，遂定書字之形，造化不能藏其秘，故天雨粟；靈怪不能遁其形，故鬼夜哭。

— 張彥遠《歷代名畫記·敘畫之源流》

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

— The Gospel of John, 1:1.

This painting gains inspiration from the Amazon rainforest wildfires in 2019, and ‘Draft of a Requiem to My Nephew (祭侄文稿)’ a calligraphy piece written by Yan Zhenqing in the year 758.
