The publication unfolds across three dimensions: the rediscovery of Xiangwang, a mode of seeing that suspends purposeful search; the transformation of the labyrinth into a mode of existence where \"pausing understanding\" allows images to breathe before being named; and an inquiry into the scale of life -- when life becomes indistinguishable from geography, as slow as mineral, or so proliferative it erases individuality, and taxonomy begins to fail. Working across architecture, design, and painting, Lo uses ink, oil, acrylic, silver leaf, and mixed media on linen and rice paper. His restrained palette -- deep black, newborn pink, ancient grass green, shimmering silver white -- allows translucent forms to surface from darkness like memory before it solidifies, unfolding what he calls a \"biology of personal time.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chi Wing Lo,Mizzy Tai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1918447020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781918447026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Artpower International Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Chi Wing Lo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49097589784831,"sku":"9781918447026","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-unknown-chi-wing-lo-9781918447026","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
