這組新作是延伸自2020個展「鑽石就是雨滴」的作品，這系列作品分別為「海」、「棋盤」、「一首詩」、「光年」、「竹子」。在這組作品中，我嘗試將攝影的影像當作雕塑的元素，與現實中的物件透過某種方式組合成一個整體。所謂的組合並非只是把不同形式的東西放在一起，來得到某種愉悅的圖像，我思考的是我們對物的感受是如何構成的。這些感受包括重力造成的型態，包括時間（運動的軌跡）、影像的視覺及記憶中的時空、移動的步伐與投射在物件上的眼光、不同的質感（粗糙的、反射的、光滑而堅硬的），甚至我們對事物的成見。在這些不同階調的反射中，我們得到了一個世界，而人在其中。
然而去找到組合他們的方式是不容易的，像是在漆黑的夜空中指認出一顆新星那樣的困難，因為我們對世界的理解是那樣地充滿成見，但這也是充滿可能性的空間。我將竹子放在黑色的布幕前拍攝，印刷在完全不反光的紙上，那黑色的背景均一如同色塊，然而因為竹子的出現，黑色方塊暗示著一個具有上下左右深邃的空間，我將這樣的時空當作一個物件，透過重複與堆疊去組合。而木板堅硬的平面，與畫面上白色的方塊，正是相對於黑色空間的另一個維度。我感興趣的是，我們對物的感受，其實正是在這些非常微妙的性質中不斷來回確認的過程。
This new series is an extension from my 2020 exhibition " The Diamond that is Raindrops." The series consists of works "Sea," " Checkerboard," "Poem," "Light year," and "Bamboo." In these works, I attempt to use photographic image as elements of sculpture and combine them with real-world objects in some way to create a whole. The idea of combination isn't merely putting different forms together to create a pleasing image; rather, I am contemplating how our perceptions of objects are constructed. These perceptions include the patterns created by gravity, time (the trajectories of movement), the visuality of images, and the spacetime of memory. They also encompass the rhythm of movement, the gaze projected onto objects, different textures (rough, reflective, smooth, and hard), and even our biases toward things. In these various reflections of different tones, we experience a world, and we exist in it.
However, finding the way to combine these elements is not easy, much like identifying a new star in the pitch-black night sky, as our understanding of the world is so filled with biases. Yet, this is also a space filled with possibilities. I placed bamboo in front of a black curtain and photographed it, printing it on paper that doesn't reflect light at all. The black background is uniform like a block of color, but due to the presence of bamboo, the black squares imply a space with depth in all directions. I treat such spacetime as an object and combine it through repetition and stacking. The wooden board's hard surface and the white squares on the screen represent another dimension in contrast to the black space. What interests me is that our perception of objects is a continuous process of confirmation within these very subtle characteristics.
