概念
蕨類幼葉在萌發時所呈現的蜷曲形狀，也可在貝殼、獸角等地方觀察到。而人類文化中包括藝術、音樂、建築、家具或其他裝飾設計（如：提琴頭）也常取材這種大自然的黃金比例。
現代生活步調匆忙，讓我們幾乎沒有時間去欣賞周遭環境，更別說是微小的世界。我們關注的往往僅有那些顯而易見、或與自身直接相關的事物。我希望藉由這個裝置藝術品激發觀者注意常被忽略的自然驚奇。
不僅如此，這些自然元素，不論是否被我們察覺，尺寸是大或小，彼此之間都互相依存，缺一不可。蕨類就是一例，不但是生態系重要一環，可做為食物養分、生物棲所，對於那些敏銳的微觀眼光與心靈來說，更可成為美的靈感與啟發。
Idea
Fiddleheads are fern sprouts. Before they become fully-grown leafy ferns, these sprouts are curled like scrolls which is a natural shape of Nature that are also found in the inner portions of shells, horns of animals, ripples, and many others. This shape is also known to be a perfect example of the Golden Ratio or Golden Proportion , the principle or formula that is being utilized in many different subjects like arts, music, architecture, furniture and many other decorative designs like violin heads and so on.
With modern times and living hastily to catch up with our daily chores, we often have no more time to look and ponder at our surroundings especially the smallest of things. We are pre-occupied with bigger concerns, and we give more priority to these rather than the smaller ones like those that are found in Nature and have no direct concern to us. Therefore, I’d like to do this installation to create awareness and guide the attention of the viewers to this often neglected wonders of Nature.
These elements of Nature, no matter how we look at it, are an important part of our lives. Size does not matter in importance. Everything is interconnected and dependent on each other. Without the elements of Nature, we will be handicapped in our existence. Ferns, for one, are an integral part of the ecosystem. Some fern species are not only a source of food for humans but also food and shelter for other animals. It is also a source of inspiration and delights for those whose eyes and minds are attuned to these small beauties of Nature.
