Reverse Gaze: Anthurium

In botanical illustration, we typically treat leaf veins and textures as the visual focal point, with colors and details expressing a plant's vitality.

This work attempts a reverse observation—the leaf's contour becomes the protagonist, while veins and patterns recede into supporting roles.

Each leaf possesses its own unique formal language: unfurling or curling, sharp or rounded—nature's silent sculpture. By temporarily setting aside meandering veins and layered colors, we can observe what is often overlooked: the poetry of leaf shapes.

The posture of a leaf is itself a landscape worthy of contemplation.

在常见的植物插画中，我们往往习惯于将叶脉与纹理作为视觉焦点，色彩与细节铺陈出植物的生命感。

但这一次，我想尝试一次反向的观察—— 让叶子的轮廓成为真正的主角，而叶脉与花纹则退居为背景的陪衬。

每一片叶子，都有其独一无二的形状语言。或舒展，或蜷曲，或锐利，或圆润，皆是自然无声的雕塑。让我们暂时忽略叶脉的蜿蜒与色彩的层次，纯粹地去注视那些平时被我们忽略的——叶形的诗意。

毕竟，叶的姿态，本身就是一种值得凝视的风景。
