上行之詩
逐步而行之詩，即「上行之詩」。
走路的時候，你心中在想什麼？
「上行之詩」是詩篇120至134篇的合稱，位於整本《聖經》的中心。這15首詩據說是古代希伯來的朝聖者在前往耶路撒冷的路途中吟唱的詩句。耶路撒冷城位處海拔約700公尺，前往那裡的旅程，是一段需要不斷向上攀升的路途。
我以詩篇第121篇的經文作為此次壁畫創作的發想，結合我自身攀登台灣高山的經驗，以及近期閱讀與登山相關的文字，將這些來自經典、記憶與筆記的內容交織，轉化為繪畫前的文字素描。讓思想孕育出形狀、色彩與線條，使文字與圖像在空間中展開對話。
我期待觀者的參與，成為這場對話中的第三方聲音，使空間產生更多回音與共鳴。若你在離開座位的瞬間，腦中忽然浮現一絲未竟的思緒，那麼，你已經踏上這條路了。

Gradual Psalms
The "Songs of Ascents" refer to Psalms 120 to 134, which are located at the very center of the Bible. These fifteen psalms are said to have been sung by ancient Hebrew pilgrims on their journey to Jerusalem. Jerusalem, situated at an altitude of approximately 700 meters, represents a journey that requires continuous ascent.
For this mural, I drew inspiration from Psalm 121, integrating my personal experiences of climbing Taiwan's high mountains and recent readings on mountaineering. These texts, memories, and notes have been interwoven and transformed into a sketch before the painting, allowing thoughts to give birth to shapes, colors, and lines, creating a dialogue between text and image within the space.
I invite the participation of viewers, hoping they will become a third voice in this conversation, generating more echoes and resonance within the space. If, as you rise from your seat, a fleeting thought suddenly arises in your mind, then you have already set foot on this path.
