創作理念
在我們的生活中，某些眼角不經意的瞄過的景物，似乎拒絕進入原有的次序，即使下一刻消失或改變，也沒有人知道它曾存在多久。這些事物於我們的認知網絡中造成些微裂縫，引起令人不悅的效果。
「對我而言，這份不悅的想法是我的創作重點。它存有一種機會，來到此刻這個世界，包括遊客在內的許多奇怪事件，彼此進行著無常卻獨特的相遇；我的作品就像停格影片，前進與後退只在時空中。這項作品與陳列所在地，依其歷史、地理和植物群落，相互產生緊密關係；其中並加入建築元素，以象徵人類的存在。」
Statement
One element of the scenery doesn’t behave like it should - refusing to fit into the expected order. It appears just “by the way” from the corner of the eye. One is not sure if it has been there forever; if it may disappear or change in the next moment. It irritates, causing a little rupture in the net of cognition. This moment of irritation is important for my work. It bears a certain chance: to arrive here and now in a world where strange things including the viewer are having a transient and unique meeting. All my works appear like film stills, that point backwards and forward both temporally and spatially. The installations are created in a close relation with their sites, corresponding to history, topography and vegetation. I often also integrate an element of architecture, as a synonym of the physical presence of human life.
