福與風
2025, 光聚合物活版印刷, 16 x 16 cm
「福與風 (Breeze of Grace)」的創作靈感，源自我的故鄉竹北、新竹的風，和保持良好水圳，以及東方文化中象徵圓滿的「福」字。我運用幾何圖樣抽象化「福」字，並重複排列組合形成連續不斷的畫面，如同風的如同行竹的風吹拂過灑滿陽光的稻田，再造既現代又傳統的意象。暖色調代表著溫馨、希望與生命力，向每一位觀者傳遞故鄉的溫暖祝福。重複性象徵著風之綿延，連結了新竹昔日風塑物產、玻璃工藝，及今之風力發電。新竹素有「風城」之稱，強勁的風對早期農業經濟至關重要，例如，東北季風自然風乾的米粉賦予其獨特口感，秋風與陽光則成就了美味的柿餅。新竹的玻璃製造業也曾聞名全球，硅砂提供了豐富的原料，從日常器皿到藝術創作，聖誕節燈點綴全世界。風延續連結這片土的故事。我希望透過這三個元素，表達我對故鄉土地的眷戀、對風的敬畏，以及無限的祝福。

Breeze of Grace
2025, Photo-lithograph on wove paper, 11" x 14"
This artwork experiments how contrasting expressions coexist. I began by creating powerful strokes on a semi-opaque acrylic paper, marking an initial impact with empty space. Then, the subsequent gradient washes over areas both untouched and shadowed, sometimes harshly, sometimes gently, bringing a sense of release. The heart shape represents a notion of familiar warmth nestled within this gradient. These two elements are interwoven together geometrically, where the angles and curves interact and guide each other. Following this, I explored color combinations using photolithography plates, selecting hues, bringing a sense of release—like trust, flow, mystery, and comfort. Each impression is a dialogue between materials and expression. It's a reminder to cherish those precious things and loved ones that are enduring.
