理念 | Statement
樹木總是看著,唱著,也往心裡刻畫著。身上的斷肢處,在癒合的過程中,漸漸地形成眼睛的樣子,深邃而清晰的注視著萬物,每每和其對視就像被探視著記憶的最深處。
作品藉由「眼睛」意象來表現樹凝視歲月中所積累的、所誕生或吸收的,而抽象有機的編織交織成記憶庫中的網線。
試圖邀請觀者思考:在自己的生命裡,產出些什麼樣的故事讓大樹記錄呢?
這場覓將是相互的,而每個生命都參與了此故事。
The trees are always watching, singing, and leaving us with deep impressions. Where they have been broken, the shape of eyes begin to form as they heal. It gazes upon all beings intently and as you look in, it reaches within the depths of your memories.
The work uses the metaphor of “eyes” to represent a complex web of abstract and organic memories within a tree that begins to form or hatch with the passing of time.
It invites the audience to think: What stories should we create within our lives for the trees to remember?
The search is mutual and each life plays a role in this story.
