Tao Te Ching

06–02–2024

道 Tao (“path,”)
德 Te (“virtue,”)
經 Ching (“ancient text”)

According to ancient legend, Lao Tzu (an older contemporary of Confucius) was riding off into the desert to die, weary at the ways of men. On his path, he was stopped and persuaded by a gatekeeper in northwestern China to write down his teaching for posterity.

Later named “Tao Te Ching,” this text became the major source of Taoism and has been studied since 400BC.

In its 81 chapters, Lao Tzu speaks simply but conveys ideas so elusive that they have been discussed for over 2000 years, without any consensus reached about their meaning.

In this series, the original & ancient Chinese text of each poem has been overlayed to the point of incomprehension—leaving only the hollow shells of language—allowing the the empty yet inexhaustible nature of the Tao to flow within it.

Each composition is numbered based on its chapter and has been arranged to express the essence of its respective poem.

(more chapters to come, feel free to ask for a specific chapter if you have one in mind)
