Crossing the nights Filling the lines 彼月此日
‘Sometimes I paint the day as night and the night as dawn. So “the moments” are migrated into a carrier trapping time.’
‘Imagine time as a series of lines: like alternating bars of light and shadow; like the first stroke of charring on carbonized wood; like the crosswalk at an intersection; like the line differentiating day and night on an infinite timeline…Confronting these demarcations, I think I can try to fill the gaps between the red lines.’

明日在彼
This is a continuing project that interweaves ‘place’ with emotional identifications and interpretations at different points in time.
These 20 hexagon panels, crafted by master carpenter Mr. Lam Che with upcycled teak pews, were completed between 2022 and 2023. I imagine, with faith and hope, that this project will continue, and perhaps after I am gone, these scattered panels may reunite one day and rebuild that place we call ‘home’ in all its beauty and ugliness.
這是一個將會繼續進行的計畫，以情感演繹不同時間的地方感。這20幅六邊型作品完成於2022至2023年間，木板由木工師傅林池用教堂舊凳的柚木重製而成。
我想像這個計畫會一直進行下去，或許在自己死後，這些年分散了的小傢伙能夠重新拼湊在一起，重構那個我們又美麗又醜陋、稱作「家」的地方。
