Echoes of Antiquity 17 is a ceramic artwork by Duan Yijian, created in October 2021 using Jingdezhen white porcelain. The piece takes on an inverted bell shape, with smooth, rounded lines that exude a sense of solidity and classical elegance.

Artistically, it combines cobalt blue and underglaze red techniques, where bold blue strokes crisscross dynamically, constructing an abstract spatial structure. Interwoven red branch-like patterns symbolize the flourishing vitality of life, reinforcing a visual narrative of ancient civilizations coexisting with nature.

This piece masterfully integrates traditional craftsmanship with contemporary artistic expression, offering a profound exploration of life's rhythms and the natural order.
