As the distance between two points, “the one” can be used as a way to interpret the world. When “the one” is stretched between two points, it not only opens up the pursuit of truth but also traces back to the origin of reason. The space between two points reveals the continuation of a question, and the distance between them points to an answer. The distance becomes a cognitive process of viewing the world, while the “preservation of distance” between two points becomes an attitude of perception. The distance created by the focal length may separate the subject and object, but at the same time it brings the two even closer to each other. An adequate distance helps to create varying perspectives on our interpretation of the world. We choose our way of viewing the world through distance, and “the preservation of distance” between two varying points is the central idea of this paper. Between the two points of the cognition of sense and that of sensibility, “the one” defines the line of thought within an Eastern framework of interpreting the world, whereas “intuition” makes up the essential awareness embraced by the Western mode of interpretation. Between the two points of Taipei and Yilan, “time” is a factor in the creative process, while “space” is a variable affected by conflicts in the surroundings. Between the two points of brush and ink, “one stroke” (Yi-hua) explores the creativity behind wash painting, while “oneness” (Hua-yi) is a state to be attained through life-long pursuit. The distance that falls between two points… may in reality become closeness. Keywords: the one ,distance, intuition, brush and ink
