在我身處的地方，每個人都是「空白的鏡子」。眼前的空白，歷史的留白，讓人迷失於現實與鏡像間。雖然肉眼渴望透過鏡子突破表象，卻發現「被清洗的載體」已逐漸支配城市的記憶，讓人無法分辨虛、實的距離。

 

作品《壹元（二）》以港幣「壹圓」為媒介，藉由對其打磨和拋光，比喻人海中的「鏡子」。通過豎立鏡子在地上，再以其佈局、隱喻，訴說在時代巨輪下，個體記憶與現實的矛盾、流動的身體與被封存的過去、被止步的界線與前進之間。

​

Where I stand, everyone is a "blank mirror." The blankness before our eyes, a historical void, leaves people adrift between reality and its reflection. Though the naked eye longs to pierce through appearance via the mirror, it discovers that this "cleansed vessel" has gradually seized control of the city’s memory, blurring the distance between illusion and reality.

​

The artwork One Dollar #2 utilizes the one-dollar Hong Kong coin as a medium, employing grinding and polishing as a metaphor for the "mirrors" within the human tide. Erected upon the ground, the mirrors’ spatial arrangement serves as an allegory, speaking to the contradictions between individual memory and reality beneath the wheel of time—capturing the tension between the fluid body and the sealed past, between the halted boundary and the forward march.
