影像對我來說是事物的另一個形體，像是山色的倒影與山共同構成的風景ㄧ樣，在「海」的這系列作品中，除了攝影本身的影像之外，我也關注著攝影作為一個物件的存在，包括攝影本身的相紙、裱褙在鋁板、鋁板放在木板上、染色木板的質地、層板上的水杯、水杯裡的水。
當影像在某種狀態下與這些物件形成一個充滿聯繫與關係的狀態時，一個介於兩者的空間才會從中浮現出來，在這個空間裡，事物得以它們自身的面貌被重新認識。某方面來說，我一直在我的工作中尋求這種空間。在「海」的這件作品，機械物理性的秒針運轉成爲影像畫面的一部份，當圓盤轉動時，海便在又是影像（深遠）又是平面（相紙的平面）的狀態不斷來回，攝影的瞬時性與真實時間的流動性，在這裡形成同時並存的狀態。而海平面與圓形的切分，也將大海作爲影像的抽象性彰顯出來，正是這個抽象性，使得整組物件得以形成一個微妙的整體。這個整體猶如一個靜物素描，而在這幅靜物畫中，我嘗試將物質的各種層面，與時間、重力、經驗一同描繪進去。
For me, image is another form of objects, much like the reflection of mountains co-creates the landscape with the mountains themselves. In the "Sea" series of works, aside from the imagery captured through photography, I also focus on the existence of photography as an object. This includes the photographic paper itself, mounted on aluminum sheets, the aluminum sheets placed on wooden boards, the texture of stained wooden boards, the water cup on the shelf, and the water inside the cup.
When image forms a state of connection and relationship with these objects in a particular condition, an intermediary space emerges, allowing things to be reacquainted with their own appearances. In some sense, I have been seeking this kind of space in my work all along. In the "Sea", the mechanical movement of the second hand becomes a part of the image. As the disc rotates, the sea alternates between being an image (profound) and a plane (the surface of photography). The instantaneity of photography and the fluidity of real-time coexist here.
The division between the sea surface and the circle also highlights the abstract nature of the sea as an image. It's this abstraction that allows the entire set of objects to form a delicate whole. This whole is like a still life drawing, and within this still life, I attempt to depict various aspects of materiality along with time, gravity, and experience.
