Artist’s Statement

If space is a straight line, then a sphere is an interval.
If space is a two dimensional plane, then a sphere is an expandable disk.

It is a planet that revolves on its own axis, a golden sun, a helix galaxy made up of thousands of star clusters and nebulae.
It is the boundary of an internal space that is both open and closed - whenever we establish such a line, whether it is within ourselves or with others, we create struggle and conflict on either side of the border, leading to collapse and reorganization.

How is one to take restless anxiety and transform it into cold emotion? This is an old commitment and understanding, a minimalistic, calm and unpretentious creative language. It is a readymade object, a fundamental aspect of geometry, a surface made of arcs and colors, something I call sphere movement.


創作自述

若空間是一條線，那球體就是區間；
若空間是一個平面，那球體就是可擴充的磁盤。

它是自轉的星球、金黃的太陽，由數千個星團和星雲所組成的螺旋星系。
它是內部空間的分界，既是封閉的也是開放的——無論是在自我或與他人之間，每當我們建立起邊界，我們也製造了邊界兩端的爭戰與衝突／瓦解與改革。

何以將焦躁的情緒化約為冰冷的情感？這是一種老式的堅持與理解，一種極簡、平靜和不事華麗的創作語言。
它是現成的物體和幾何原本，是由圓弧和色彩所構成的平面。我稱它為運動的球體。
