In Ash, Cheung was fascinated with observing the moment of the fallen ashes of incense touching a copper plate. Its achromatic colour scheme elicits a stark contrast between the object and the space, yet quintessentially and harmonically portrays their ephemeral interaction. This interaction was engraved into the artist’s mind and inspired to him to consider its subsequent moments. The thought of “what might come next” embodies the “void” in thinking, the pause and transitional stretch from the end to new beginnings.

例如作品《Ash》裡繪畫了線香掉下來的灰燼，形態簡約委婉，黑白色的單色調形成強烈的對比空間，不多不少。但是，作品所表現的狀態卻帶有一種「消逝後歸於無」的情感，從而展現了時間的思考「空隙」，就是藝術家所表達的「空性」——「消逝後歸於無」有時候並不代表完結，或許只是「過渡」後的另一開始。
