Rendered in graceful washes of black and gray, People of the Past captures the fleeting silhouettes of memory — figures half-remembered, like ghosts of gentler times. Hong Kong–based artist Yu Feng 馮羽 draws inspiration from Chiu Liang’s 《儷人行》, translating its poetic rhythm into visual form. Her monochrome brushwork feels both restrained and tender — a meditation on the passage of time and the quiet dignity of everyday people.
Each stroke carries a trace of nostalgia, echoing the stillness of photographs that have faded at the edges. Though the colors are gone, emotion remains — the warmth of shared moments, the subtle ache of distance, and the beauty of remembering those who came before us.
