All This Occurs Perpetually Inside This Vessel 名為軀殼的船

The body aches, and through its aching, subtle emotional currents ripple across the span of a life. In this slow unfolding, we come to perceive not merely the image of death, but to inhabit, in fleeting instants, the sensation of dying itself. When I paint and write, I am tracing the intimate tremors of my body — the quiet murmurs of being that emerge between breath and thought. I gather the delicate, poetic fragments concealed within the everyday passing of life — fragments that carry with them the weight of loneliness and the shimmer of sorrow.

All of this takes place within this vessel: a body confined before the vastness of freedom, forever colliding with, and surrendering to, the exquisite perfections and inevitable flaws of existence.

因疼痛而產生細微情感變化的生命歷程，讓人領悟到所要面對的不僅是死亡的意象，而是去感受死亡。我以繪畫書寫並記錄私密的身體感及存在感，體會日常隱含逝去之美的詩意片段，和它所喚起的孤寂與幽傷 — 在生命的本質全然自由前，終將被困於名為「身體」的容器裡，一次次的去衝撞及接納生命的完美與不完美。

Φλόγα 火焰

I may only be able to gently touch upon life and death, loss and scars,
yet never truly grasp their entirety.
Some words will forever remain unwritten,
but through the depth and sensibility of images,
we ultimately flow together toward the same direction.

對於生命、死亡、失落與傷痕，
我或許能夠輕輕觸及，卻仍不足以企及它的所有。
有些文字永遠也無法寫出，
但透過圖像的深刻與感受性，
我們終將於同一方向匯流。

A Distant Future, Without a Soul to Hold Your Hand 遙遠的未來，沒有牽著手的我們

Pain — a word charged with quiet power, a vital reminder that we are still alive, a silent testament to our existence. Whether born of the body or the soul, pain turns inward, carving invisible lines across the self — so intimately private, yet profoundly human. It is an inevitable passage that binds all who live.

Only when we awaken to life’s finitude, to the fragile knowledge that it will one day cease, does pain reveal its deeper purpose: to lead us toward meaning within the delicate weave of reality, and to offer reason in the very act of being.

疼痛，是一種強烈的字眼。它是令我們意識、並證明自己還活著且存在的重要方式。無論肉體的苦楚還是心靈的傷痛，皆是內向、深切屬於自身。儘管這極為私密，卻是普世的人類都曾擁有與無可避免的歷程。當人們知覺生命有限，終將逝去時，疼痛所發揮最大的功能之一，就是為現實的存在尋找意義和理由。
