Holly Dark Heaven
Wood, jewels, iron wires, LED lights, plastic bugs, dvd player (2009)
在愛丁堡藝術學院 (Edinburgh College of Art / ECA)念MFA第二學年的專題空間(Project Space)，我設計了個暗室空間，使用塑膠昆蟲與珠寶布置出一種具儀式感的氛圍。這件作品與環境議題、科幻電影有關。觀賞者可以躺下，觀看在黑色雕塑下方的螢幕，螢幕呈現高速閃爍、靜止或關閉的狀態，閃光的色調與LED燈光相近。牆上安置的LED光束指向黑色的蟲群，交叉在彼此牆上形成影子。牆上的影子間黏有寶石，觀賞者行走間可以看見閃爍地光芒。我嘗試在空間中表現在華麗中的某種失落，以及在亮麗表面後的死亡與詭異。

This was the Project Space during my second year of MFA at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), I designed a darkroom installation that used plastic insects and jewelry to create a ritualistic atmosphere. This work was connected to the environmental issues I read and the science fiction films I saw. Visitors can lie down and watch a screen beneath a black sculpture. The screen alternates between rapid flickering, stillness, or being turned off, with the flashing tones resembling LED lighting. LED beams on the walls illuminate black insect clusters, casting intersecting shadows on the walls. Gems are affixed between these shadows, and as visitors move through the space, they can see the sparkling reflections. My aim was to express a sense of loss within opulence, as well as death and eeriness beneath the dazzling surface.
