Tay Giok Buay (b. 1941) enshrines a single line of Tang poetry:
「野渡无人舟自横」 — At the wild ferry, a boat drifts alone.

Drawn from a verse by Wei Yingwu, this phrase captures the tranquil solitude of an empty river crossing, where a lone boat lies motionless upon the current. There is no urgency, no presence—only the gentle coexistence of boat, water, and silence. It reflects the Daoist and Chan Buddhist spirit: one of letting go, of following the natural course, of quiet clarity.

Executed in wild cursive script (狂草), the brushwork is vigorous yet spacious, with gold medallions stamped behind the ink that subtly allude to cosmic harmony or the passage of time. The spontaneous force of the strokes contrasts with the stillness of the meaning, creating a layered dynamic between movement and stillness, action and inaction. It is a scroll not meant to be merely read, but felt.
