We are in the midst of such moments, in the gap between the fading and the coming.
The ore formed in the earth's veins has its own genesis, and I take it as a symbol of the strata. The interruptions and undulations correspond to the deformation of the landforms and plate extrusion. In the process of accumulating layers of sand and stone, the patterns of space and time are fleeting at every moment, just like the earth that stretches deep far below our feet, condensing the world that has faded away.
By making sandboxes like childhood play, we exist in a world built by real illusions. The primitive and strange things formed by the unconscious may reveal the as-yet-unknown life and environment extended by some fading and upcoming time and space.
“Everything to come was already in images: to find their soul, the ancients went into the desert. ” (Jung 2009)
我们正在这样的时刻，在消逝又即将到来的间隙之中。
于地脉中形成的矿石，作为地层的象征有着独属于它的成因。间断与起伏，对应着地貌的变迁和板块挤压的变形。在层层累砌沙石的过程中，每一刻时空中的图案都转瞬即逝，亦如我们脚下绵延至深远的大地，凝结着消逝的世界。
通过像童年的玩耍一样制作沙盘，真实的幻象构建着我们存在的世界。由无意识形成的原始又陌生的事物，也许昭见着尚不得而知的，某段消逝又即将到来的时空所延展出的生命与环境。
“所有未来的一切都以意象出现：为找到他们的灵魂，古人进入沙漠。” (Jung 2009)
