Pen Walking is a meditative series in which Shi Jin-Hua exhausts the full length of one or more pencils, allowing the act of drawing to become both ritual and record. As each pencil wears down, its shavings are collected and affixed to the paper alongside the drawn line—material evidence of time, labor, and eventual depletion.
The shavings, like relics of a body after death, speak to what remains once function is spent. The traces of the pencil strokes mirror the actions of a person's life, and the depletion of the pencil reflects the inevitable fate of the mortal body. Contemplating one’s life journey, one cannot help but sigh at the existential emptiness:
“No matter what you do, in the end—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」。
