This work belongs to the artist’s "Whether Drawings," a series of works on paper. These works depict various phenomena beyond human control, including natural disasters and unusual landscapes. Rockman uses the fluidity of paint to express the immense and uncontrollable energy of nature. In this work, countless ice blocks float across the sea beneath a dark and foreboding sky, engulfing the viewers with a vast and inhospitable landscape.
