Exhale    嘆息
2011

I am the avatar of death and the guardian of peace,
The faces I see are filled with fear and grievance,
The bullets of hatred destroys my enemy,
I incinerates within their blood red body,
I am the cheers of victory and the tears of separation. 

我是死神的化身也是和平的守護者,
我看到的面孔總是流露着恐懼和悲痛,
載滿仇恨的子彈把我的敵人毀滅,
我在血紅色的身體內燃燒,
我是勝利的歡呼也是分離的眼淚。

Disappearance Night Sky    消失夜空, 2009

特然奇來的白光把深藍色的夜空撕裂,星星跟月亮都消失得無影無踪,動物的身驅被刺眼的強光包圍下動彈不得。砰!一聲巨響過後,一切又恢復平靜。

The sudden white light torn the deep blue night sky apart, the stars and the moon disappeared without a trace, the body of the animal is surrounded by the blinding bright light and frozen in its position. Bang! A loud noise and then everything returns to quietness.

Moment of tranquility before the great storm   暴風雨前夕的寧靜
Grey card boards and glue   30(W) x 30(L) x 180cm(H), Langham Place, HK 2005

 

Inside every big company there are many workers, they are busy working but upon close inspection you might find some of these workers are not really working but just pretending to be at work, they spent most of their time staring at the monitor, like the backdrop of a movie set. The so call work is repeatedly acting out this performance everyday, hiding quietly in the corner of the office, hoping for real work not to fall on them.


每一間大公司裏面都坐着很多職員,他們都正在努力工但細看之下你可能發現部份職員不是真正在工作而只是假裝着,他們大部份時間都只是呆望着營光幕,像是佈景板一樣。所謂的工作,就是這樣每天重覆地演出,靜靜地躲在辦工室的一角,希望真正的工作不要降臨在自己身上。

Stars of the Ever Expanding Universe    不斷膨脹宇宙裏的星星
Motor, bicycle, laser cut acrylic sheets, rubber track, & metal wire, Lane Crawford Admiralty, Hong Kong, 2005 

In school we learned the Earth is revolving around the Sun, but looking from the Earth's perspective it certainly feels like the Sun is revolving around the Earth. According to the statistic each of us on average would own over 10,000 things. Each day the things we own, people we know and event we engaged in revolve around us like the trillions of stars in the sky, nothing else in the whole world is more important than that. That is to say we are the center of the universe and the Sun sure feel like just another planet revolving around us. I use different colorful acrylics and cut out the shapes from the things I own or the people that are important to me. This sculpture was powered by a bicycle and it produces great shadows on the wall when spinning.

No Name    無名

There are many different types of gods and religions in this world, many gods proclaim that they are the one and only god and they the real god. These gods could be anywhere and knows everything, the all mighty god have unlimited mercy to give and also fantastic punishment for all of us, they demands our respect and fear. I wonder if gods have their own religion or they just believe in themselves. Who is watching over them?

 

這個世界存在着各種不同的宗教和不同的神,印象中好像每一個神都說自己是真神,也是唯一的一個。這些神無處不在也能知世事,萬能的神有無限的慈愛也有精彩的刑罰等着我們,是可敬又可畏。不知道這些神有沒有它們的信仰或只是信自己?誰在守護着它們?
