Wind erosion
(風化, feng hua4) is a major geomorphological force, especially in arid
and semi-arid regions. It is also a major source of land degradation,
evaporation, desertification, harmful airborne dust, and crop
damage—especially after being increased far above natural rates by human
activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture. (Wikipedia)
風 (feng) Wind (How to write, Simplified Chinese), any natural force; in Chinese culture, "風 feng" could mean the trend, scene, information, anything could change the phase of matters in time, and like the insect in the cave.

"Modern Times marked the last screen appearance of the Little Tramp - the
character which had brought Charles Chaplin world fame, and who still
remains the most universally recognised fictional image of a human being
in the history of art."
"How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is
strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the
sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? 你怎能買賣天空和土地?這樣的想法對我們來說是太奇怪了。如果我們不能擁有空氣的清新和水的晶瑩,你又怎麼能買到這些?
Every part of the Earth is sacred to my people. 對我們的民族來說,大地的每一部份都
是神聖的。 Every shining
pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every
clear and humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my
people. The sap which courses through the trees carries the memory and
experience of my people. 每一根松針、每一個沙岸、夜晚樹林裡的每一滴露水、每一隻嗡嗡響的昆蟲,對我們的民族在記憶與經驗中都是神聖的。 The sap which courses through the trees carries
the memories of the red man. 樹木裡流動的汁液都夾帶著紅人
(印地安人)的記憶。 The white man's dead forget the country of their birth when they
go to walk among the stars. Our dead never forget this beautiful Earth,
for it is the mother of the red man. 白人死了以後就忘了他們出生的地方,魂魄走到天上的星星之間。 We are part of the
Earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers are our sisters,
the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. 我們的族人死了以後從不忘記這個美麗的大地,因為大地是紅人的母親。 The rocky
crests, the juices in the meadows, the body heat of the pony, and the
man, all belong to the same family. ......... 我們是大地的一部分,大地
也是我們的一部分。芬芳的花朵是我們的姊妹,鹿、馬和禿鷹是我們的兄弟。山峰、草的汁液、小馬的體溫,還有人都是同一個家庭。........

全台灣少數以國際化策略經營當代藝術的香華天‧新藝境「寶勝畫廊」,將於2012年底與中正紀念堂攜手合作,推出目前在國際備受肯定的亞洲首團女子藝術三人組──Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲「合氣一相」大展,在12月22 日至31日為期十天的展期中,將展出「藤達」、「水唱」、「金彩藍得」及「水唱‧得意山水」等最新創作系列。
Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲創作三人組是由台灣新銳藝術家張心禹(MANIHOO)、王馨薇(Singway)與鄭如玲(Ling Ling)所組成,除了創作默契十足,作品也備受好評:三人聯手創作的首幅作品即入選「西英國皇家藝術學院第159屆秋季展」,之後更接連榮獲美國「前衛藝術第57屆國際公開藝術展」國際組首獎、入選美國「弗羅里達州第七屆評選展」、入選美國「第十屆年度超現實視覺及精神藝術評選展」,今年11月再獲「英國皇家油畫家協會第125屆年度評選展」入選,再添國際榮耀!此外,Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲的作品在台灣也備受藏家青睞,更令兩大收藏家日盛企業集團總裁陳國和、台灣工業銀行董事長駱錦明為之激賞,成為此兩大集團美術館之館藏。
Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲的創作特色為「充分挑戰油彩的流動與自由性,隨著油彩不可預測的自由流轉,展現大自然的律動與壯濶!」日盛企業集團總裁陳國和盛讚:「三人合力創作竟能有如此高水平,讓我有如同見到張大千潑墨般的驚艷!」
本次展出作品,除了延續Ma Sing Ling瑪馨玲一貫震懾人心的氣勢,新創作系列各有不同意涵: 「藤達」系列以生生不息的樹藤象徵著平步青雲、騰躍達成之意; 「水唱」系列的畫中情景,是以古典詩詞為發想概念,並充分詮釋了唐詩或宋詞中對水的生動描述; 「金彩藍得」系列則以悠遠神秘的藍,呈現出山川的各種面貌,加上金色的雲彩,頓時點亮萬種風情! 「水唱‧得意山水」系列,則融和中國白描與西方油畫的表現手法,另以大面積的金色表現不同的空間層次,既有立體派的神韻,同時又將不同空間表現在同一平面,別具趣味。

Vision / Golden Woods • Bound-free Journey
Vision / The Home of Prosperity beyond the World
In the movie, there was a scene Andrea keeps wandering on the street, and wearing a hat (by Chanel) . She is thinking whether to take the offer from Miranda, her boss, the chief of fashion Magazine. The invitation from Miranda is Andrea would be her assistant for the fashion week in Paris, while this will break the dream of Emily, another assistant, who was the first candidate of this job and she is eager for the trip.
Picture originated from internet. Click here for more information. In the movie, Andrea did not answer directly, but the decision was made before destiny, or perhaps the hat!?
"French fashion icon Coco Chanel (1883-1971) went from being a struggling hat maker to being one of the fashion world's most recognizable names. Over the years, Chanel's simple, comfortable designs began to change the way 20th-century women dressed, freeing them of the stiff, uncomfortable trends of the past. Today, the empire that Coco built produces some of the most successful and coveted fashion items, headed by designer Karl Lagerfeld." (data source)
"Qui qu'a vu coco?" (WhohasseenCoco?)
I have a very similar style of hat which bought from the Aran islands, Galway, during my stay in Ireland 2004-2005.
The hat was of wool material and handmade. At first beginning, it was a gift for my father; while he rejected to accept the gift for thinking the style is for old men.
He is right, and also wrong about this point, since the men of the Aran islands, Ireland (different from the Scottish isle of Arran) really keep their culture traditional as original since the beginning.
Quote from Youtube: Fergal O'Murchú, accordianist and singer of Ragús, a group of musicians
and dancers from the Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland
performing traditional Irish music, sings "Green Grow the Rushes" in
this wonderful piano version. The word ragús is an Irish Gaelic word for
'desire' or 'urge'.
