上下、空間、爬
2016
「你想過，你的上面和你的下面是什麼嗎？」
「我喜歡爬高，但怕黑。」
「弧線一定是這世界上最美的線條了。」
│隱而不顯的空間 │
因為駐村藝術家的朋友的關係，2014年第一次走進台南321巷藝術聚落的29號。後來就常常來拜訪、借住在這棟高齡86歲（對人類來說）的屋子裡，像是住在一位長者的身體裡，有時候聽聽她說說故事、唱唱歌。早上起來的時候有很多鳥叫聲，然後到黃昏。
這裡還有一個秘密的空間，就是在壁櫥內到斜屋頂之間的隱密空間。
我把這個「上層空間」拿來作為我繪畫創作上的想像以及作為我關心內在層次的探求，以現場裝置的手法來跟她對話。

Up/Down/Space
2016, on site installation
Have you ever wondered what lies above you, and what lies beneath?
I love climbing high, but I'm afraid of the dark.
A curve must be the most beautiful line in the world.

| The Sacred Space That Hides Itself |
In 2014, thanks to a friend who was an artist-in-residence, I first entered No. 29 of the 321 Art Alley Settlement in Tainan. Since then, I’ve often visited or stayed in this 86-year-old house (in human years), as if living inside the body of an elder—sometimes listening to her tell stories, sometimes hearing her sing. In the mornings, the house is filled with birdsong, and then comes the dusk.

There’s also a secret space here: a hidden area between the closet and the sloping roof.
I use this “upper space” as a source of imaginative exploration in my painting practice and as a metaphor for delving into inner dimensions. Through on-site installation, I enter into a dialogue with this space—quiet, mysterious, and full of stories waiting to be discovered.
