One day in 1502, a great sailor’s standing on the ship and enjoying the sunny weather and quiet sea. Suddenly a gale’s blowing and the sky’s getting dark. The compass stopped working，a flame came down from the sky，and a wave 1 00 to 200 feet high carried the ship about a mile away. This ship lost control and be pushed by the wave. Fortunately it didn’t sink after several days’ jolt. And so strange that the storm stopped in a sudden and the weather return to calm and tranquil quickly. The great sailor is just Christopher Columbus. And this sea area called Bermuda triangle from then.

This story gives me inspiration of artistic creation. In my image I humanizes nature into fish-man waves and knights clouds. They are the gods of sea and sky and proceeding an epic war that never ends even to date.

Compare to the strong and powerful nature, human is so weak and small. But humans never stop the feet of exploration. Till now almost every inch of the earth has left the footprints of theirs. Even the universe and other stars have been visited by them. Human’s spirit of exploration is worth admiring and just because of it, the people’s society could keep advancing and become stronger and stronger. But at the same time, nature is losing her mestery and dignity little by little.

I try to express the theme of the nature’s mystery and human’s exploration spirit. The sea is so magnificent and dangeous when she whips up huge waves to the sky. And the knights clouds are changeful and glorious riding on the horses. People on the ship is going to explore the unknow areas, unfortunately, they meet the war between the sea and sky at the very beginning. They are struggling and trying best to keep advancing. Maybe they will arrive at the destination safely, maybe they will meet more marvelous difficulties. No matter what happens, I believe that they will hold the nature in awe.
All right, that’ all. Lots of thanks to all the CG friends, thank you for your support and advices. The work is done, but the journey is just beginning, hope everyone good luck!
