對於史前人類，圖像和塑像不單是一種生活紀錄，更是一種媒介，流露出人類對超越的力量的渴求，而幾何圖像更時常出現其中。



時至今日，由於科學知識大力否定其他生存模式，大多數人已經失去了超越的願景。奇怪的是，正當現代人摒棄「迷信」，用科學方法操控生活時，同時感受到一種強烈的無力感‧‧‧

身為現代人的我，希望利用幾何和人體圖像的結合，模仿古人製造圖騰的精神境界，展開一段段對超越的幻想。



Archaeology shows that, since prehistoric periods, paintings and sculptures is not simply limited to the representation of something; it was also a means by which humans could visualize their longing for a sense of transcendence. Geometry was often prominently associated with the transcendental (e.g. Pyramids, Taichi symbol, halo etc).



Since the 20th Century, scientific approaches greatly replace and exclude other ways of being. Most people have lost contact with the transcendental. On the one hand people attempt to control all aspects of their life with scientific methodologies, rejecting anything “superstitious”; on the other hand, strangely, there arises generally an increasing sense of powerlessness. In contemporary society where religions have become less dominant, I am interested in how a contemporary person may respond to geometry and derive meanings from it, especially in the context of individual freedom and power relationships.



Humans usually take life for granted. But when life becomes problematic, we are made aware of certain human conditions. The negligence of the transcendental hampers our abilities to imagine the beyond and therefore possibilities to change our lives. The links between transcendence and autonomy are intricate, as thinkers such as Nietzsche have contemplated. I intend to visualize such complications in my work. Living in this contemporary time, I hope I can, through the revelations of geometry and anthropomorphic forms, imitate and re-enact the ancient humans’ approach – to imagine the transcendental.
