《荷花》以現代水墨，半抽像方式呈現枯老凋謝的荷花形象。以現代水墨的展現方式，把水墨畫濃淡枯濕的筆法展現得透徹，形式上卻運用了抽象形式繪畫。對比中國傳統寫意畫法，多了一分西方的抽象思維。
展現中國道家的枯槁的審美，暗含作者對於生命的領悟。畫面中水墨的色塊營造殘荷的姿態，並以一抹紅點睛。墨與色彩的對比，象徵佛家「頓悟」的一刻
Lotus is a modern ink painting rendered in a semi-abstract style. In the picture, the image of withering lotus is presented in a modern ink-wash style, characterised by the dynamic use of brushstrokes, heavy and light, of dry and wet ink. Meanwhile, the lotus is represented through artistic expression in an abstract style. As such, Western painting techniques and abstract thinking are perfectly blended with the traditional Chinese xieyi style which exemplifies in the swift execution and sure brushstrokes.
The painting embodies the aesthetics of withering in Daoist terms, hinting at the artist’s insight into human life. The appearance of the dried-up lotuses is rendered with patches of ink and washes. Contrasting with the gradations of black ink predominantly used in the picture, the composition is brightened up with a touch of red palette in the centre, which is symbolic of a moment of enlightenment.
