Project Title: Elements of the Heart Core Concept: A five-volume poetry series, each volume dedicated to one of the Wu Xing (Five Elements) of traditional Chinese philosophy: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Volume 2: Fire (火) - Passion and Transformation Poetic Style: A hybrid, modernistic style blending "Shi" (concise observation) and "Ci" (lyrical introspection), creating a "Shi-Ci Fusion" style. This style will be consistently applied across all five volumes. Volume Structure: Each volume will contain 99 poems, exploring the symbolic, emotional, and philosophical associations of their respective element. The traditional "Generating" or "Creating" cycle of the elements will be followed: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
