I am drawn to these transparent things, because light travels through them. They invite us to open our perception, to flow together, and, through an acceptance of change, to embrace difference. They once emerged from people’s distant imaginings of the stars as something that transcends the human self: the pavilion, the Azure Dragon constellation, the flying bird, and the Pole Star, all meeting one another imperceptibly within an open field of perception. In a form of contemplative seeing that suspends preconceptions, drifting between a long history and the ever-changing present of each passing second, where have we arrived, and what kinds of contact will we enter into with latent worlds and futures? Should you be willing to try, a water-like state and temperament will begin to extend and endure: a yin-like softness of freedom and becoming. It is a power that offers itself to its surroundings without easily wounding life, like sunlight and wind. We and it will continue to shape one another, floating and drifting, light and playful.

While examining the origins of images and diagrams in order to understand the relationship between my recurring symbols and my intuitive attractions, I encountered the symbol of the North Star in ancient civilizations, which in turn led me to the dragon as an astral configuration. A passionate curiosity toward the fixed stars, together with an openness to strangeness and unfamiliarity, allowed me to enter into a quiet conspiracy with my ancestors.

我喜欢这些透明的事物，因为光在其中穿行。它邀请我们，打开知觉，一同流淌，在对变化的接纳中，去拥抱差异。它曾来自人们对众星超越自身的遥想，亭子，苍龙，飞鸟，与极星，在开放的知觉中不知不觉彼此相会。在排除定见的照观中，飘荡于悠久的历史与每分每秒变化的此刻之时，我们抵达了何处，又将与潜在的世界和未来发生怎样的触碰。如果你愿意尝试，一种形如水的状态和气质将绵延：自由与生成的阴柔。这是一种给予周围却不轻易刺伤生命的力量，如阳光与风。我们与它，将相互塑造着彼此，浮游飘荡，轻盈嬉戏。

在通过研究意象和图式的来源来解释自己反复出现的符号与直觉吸引之间的关系时，我与古代文明中的北极星符号相遇，而它又为我指明了龙的星象。对恒星同样充满激情的好奇和陌生感的开放意识，让我与先祖达成了有趣的共谋。

Outdoor Installation




This is a passageway into an inner space. Suspended from the great tree in my childhood paradise, the tree that watched me grow up, it becomes a form of return for me, as well as the home’s renewed acceptance of a child. The creatures within it come from my guardian spirit, and their gazes will generate communication. The patterns inside the rings resemble ancient rock paintings left by ancestors in caves, corresponding to the different chapters of Flow｜浮游 ( 2021-2022 ). This state of openness is why I chose the pavilion: here, creatures, architecture, and the environment encounter one another freely. The inspiration for the interlocking structure comes from ancient bronzes, allowing its complete form to be visible from every angle, and it is ultimately assembled through a mortise-and-tenon system. When these connections are organized together, they form a passage through which people move from the experience of here toward elsewhere. Wind, light, and rain will each bring about different states; this is a process of constant transformation.

这是一个前往内心空间的通道。悬挂在童年乐园中那棵看着我长大的巨木上，是我的一种回归，以及家宅对一个孩子的再次接纳。其中的生物来自我的守护神，凝视的眼神将产生沟通。环中的图案如同先祖遗留在山洞中的古老岩画，对应着Flow｜浮游（2021-2022）的各个章节。开放的状态是我选择亭子的原因，生物、建筑和环境在此处自在相会。嵌插的灵感来自古代青铜器，这使其完整的形式在所有角度可见，并最终以榫卯的方式安装。当这些连接组织起来时，它形成了一个通道，人们由此处的体验到达彼处。风、光线和雨水都会带来不同的状态，这是个流变的过程。
