To create the "Pen Walking" paintings, SHI uses one or multiple pencils, adhering the pencil shavings to paper upon completion. These shavings symbolize the remnants of a life concluded, while the spent pencils represent life's endless, often unpredictable cycle. The marks left by the pen are akin to life's deeds, and the pencil's exhaustion, the destiny of the human flesh.
Each pencil represents a cycle of life, and a panoramic view of one's existence leads to a sigh of existential emptiness: "No matter what, it all comes down to this."
在創作『走筆』系列畫作時,石晉華耗盡一枝或多枝鉛筆,並將鉛筆屑黏貼於紙上以完成作品。這些鉛筆屑象徵著生命終結後的殘骸,而鉛筆的耗損則代表著生命無常的循環。筆觸的痕跡如同人生的作為,鉛筆的耗盡,則是肉體無常的宿命。
一枝枝的筆,代表一生生的輪迴,而全覽的一生,使人喟嘆虛無人生:「不論再怎麼樣,也不過如此」。
