無常 Impermanence

<12祭> 創作歷程第一章

世上沒有任何事物永恆不變，大自然與城市亦然，每分秒都充斥著生老病死，何苦要執著於無常人生？大海給予靈感及資源，創作完畢，便須放手，讓天地接收，那管作品生命短暫，只要曾有一絲真摯感動，已此生無憾。

The journey of <12 Rites> Chapter 1

Nothing can last forever.  Each moment is filled with life and death. Growth and decay is constantly part of the process.  Why try so hard holding on to impermanence?  The ocean has generously provided substance and inspiration.  Once the installation is created, it is also time to let go. Mother Earth will gladly receive in her own time.  If the artwork can even touch just one soul, there is no regret regardless of the uncertain lifespan.

創作理念

有試過跟大地傾訴心事嗎？只要稍稍把腦內的雜音靜下來，走進大自然，隨處都會聽到她與我們對話，海浪是輕輕的私語，微風是溫柔的擁抱，鳥兒小蟲大合奏也時刻提醒我們在思潮中不至迷失。當文明只能帶來恐懼及紛擾時，也許是時候轉向我們的大地之母，她穹蒼的智慧令我們自已為是的想法更顯得渺小。

藝術是通往心靈的一扇門，當文字不能再傳釋內心真正的意思時，創造力便會就地取材把故事描述。而這系列作品獲得由大海預備數之不盡的物料，當中混雜了自然界與人類的廢棄物。每件裝置都與周遭的環境配合，透過創作者的手，顯示可能是土地給人們的密函，又或是我們謙卑的心對地球崇敬的祭品。

Artist Statement

Ever communicated with Mother Earth? Just try to pause the noises in our mind for a moment & listen to nature; we will realize what abundance we have been missing. While each wave could be a whisper, breezes are like gentle pads on our shoulders. The bird & insect symphony never ceases to get the attention off our brain chatter.  When our civilization can only offer fear & distraction, it is about time to turn to our Mother Earth for wisdom.  The more we listen, the less we will want to shout our thoughts.

Art is a doorway to our soul.  When words fail to express what's truly within, creativity comes in to use what's available to tell the story. In this case, the ocean has prepared numerous materials: some from nature; others from us human. Each work is specifically made from the environment. It may contain an important message from our land to us or a tribute from our humble heart to the loving earth.
