The Way Of The Erhu

A self-portrait, for whenever I pick up my erhu, which is a traditional string instrument from Mongolia with a history of over 4000 years, I find the sound and melodies transporting me to another world. An imaginary mythical place with vast landscapes and endless horizons. In folklore, an erhu player embarks on a journey to play the instrument in a tranquil place, to bring the player into peace and harmony with the self and with nature.
