Jian Ning was once a popular young writer, but fell from the altar overnight due to a plagiarism scandal. The public exposure at the book signing, the online abuse, and the betrayal of her most trusted assistant made her jump off the sea-crossing bridge. The sea water was warm, but what was waiting was not the end, but a hand that grasped her wrist. Supporting art teacher Lin Du picked her up from the bottom of the sea in thirty-seven seconds and took her to the isolated Yushan Island.
There are no signals or hot searches on the island, only the year-round sea breeze, a group of children with missing front teeth, and a cup of warm chrysanthemum tea on the table every morning. Jian Ning started by drawing a wavy line and learned to hold a pen again. She taught children how to write essays, and also wrote her own story "Little Seashell" to put the broken past back together piece by piece. Lin Du silently drew every figure of her back, from the dark blue under the bridge to the silhouette bending down to pick up shells on the beach, to the look of her finally standing on the shore and looking back with a smile - the three "Sound of Tide" paintings are all about the same person.
When she finally dared to face the past, wrote a confession letter to the gunman Shen Yang, and published a new work under the name "Jian Ning", she discovered that the real redemption was not to erase the mistakes, but to move forward with all the scars. Under the pomegranate tree on Yushan Island, someone was waiting for her to see the exhibition, waiting for her to come back, waiting for her to become the "person standing on the shore" in the painting.
The back of the sea is not an abyss, but another sea. In that sea, someone is holding a shell and has been waiting for you for many dusk.
Concept: The back of the sea is not an abyss, but another sea; if you open your fingers, someone will hold you.
