Here, we see Deiryu’s Enso, likely created with ink on paper, which centers on a boldly rendered circle and script. The circle, or Enso, is executed with swift, visible brushstrokes. The texture is quite present and varies in tone, suggesting the artist's purposeful control over the ink's density and fluidity. The Enso is more than just a shape. It symbolizes enlightenment, the void, and the universe. Its incompleteness is critical. The open circle suggests that perfection is an illusion. Instead, the focus is on constant movement and change. The forms and the textural qualities of the brushstrokes become signs pointing to philosophical underpinnings. The placement of the script within the circle disrupts the symmetry, engaging with the Zen aesthetic that values imperfection and spontaneity. Ultimately, the Enso invites us to reflect on our perceptions of form and formlessness, challenging us to find balance in incompleteness.
