Shengjie Dai, Bowl of Nostalgia, 2020, Oil on Canvas. Inspired by Chinese ceramics in MOCA’s collection, this painting transforms traditional blue-and-white porcelain into the artist’s nostalgic narratives of her homeland, capturing the natural essence of mountain and water. The notion of round heaven is the foundation of Ancient Chinese philosophy of the world. At the base of the bowl, six Chinese characters meaning “made in 2020" are carefully written, imitating traditional porcelain seals.
