The Wind, Her rain, and a cloud meets a tree in the monsoon season

Two key ideas:
1. Natural Phenomenon and its Relevance to Cosmopolitan Energy The interaction between Tree/Wind/Rain/Cloud symbolizes the dynamism of natural cycle in the tropical rainforest. The coherence of these organic shapes (Cloud/Tree/Shadow) connotes nature’s transformability. This vigorous interplay between the joyful forms is metaphorical of the vitality of cosmopolitan life.

2. The Lost Tree The felling of the last Hopea Sangal* tree of Singapore in 2002 was one regretful event in the rival between urban development and natural preservation. I wish to re-erect an eternal Hopel Sangal tree in a modern habitat such as The Sail @ Marina Bay.

夜未央

梦的深渊里,
谁吹起了泡泡?
是自己也无法看清的存在。
是单薄影子,
循着向下梯级,
铺展出夜的深度。
失落的,
是未央夜里,
不经意的涟漪里,
的一抹暗色。

雕塑作品‘夜未央’的起念,在于对一个‘想法’或是一个抽象的‘夜’所进行的具体质量化和具体体量化的三维空间表述。黑色实体作品的存在创造了‘视觉黑洞’,让人看见又看不清,侵占视觉空间。悠忽间断的水滴声,让人听见又听不清,偷袭心灵空间。映照在不断重叠和转变的实境与梦境之间的,是观者内心里那一抹等待着的暗色。 策展人说,这么纯粹的黑色作品方案,未曾执行过。如何打造一个十二米长,两米高,灌满如墨夜色的影子更具挑战。这使如何完美的贯彻‘夜未央’里的‘黑’,‘夜’,‘夜色’,‘影’等的多层次视觉呈现,如何给于现场观者全新的视觉和心灵上的体验,更显意义。
