That specification allows the image to leave a fixed print format and enter another surface and scale. ## An even field of attention Pale grey, orange and cyan particles lie densely together, with diffuse edges and no single centre. Looking can shift from finding an object to sensing density. Compared with the more distinct clusters in Touch touching on the following portfolio page, attention here moves more evenly across the surface. This page presents a portfolio still; the source page specifies neither a separate running time nor a particular installation. Archive reading, 30 September 2026 · Site editorial interpretation, not an artist’s statement. Sources: He Fa Portfolio (PDF), p. 20. English is an editorial translation; document titles are translated where needed. ## Archive note Prepared from page 20 of the artist’s retained portfolio, He Fa Portfolio 3. Chinese titles follow the source; English titles are translations for this site unless already given in English. Images retain their full composition. Dimensions refer to the version listed in that portfolio. ## Continue exploring ### Wu Works titled Wu reorganize photographs across landscapes, portraits, coloured points and writing. ### Touch touching Coloured circles fill an image whose scale depends on the space of projection.
