作品介紹：
Work Introduction

土壤既是自然的沉積，也是文化與歷史的載體。它的顏色、質地與命名，不僅記錄地質變遷的時間性，也承載著人類活動、記憶與在地知識。本作品延續「土研究」的田野成果，選取新竹十八種土壤，並選取一種燒製為陶瓷薄片懸掛於空間中。當風拂過，它們彼此碰撞，聲音隨機而生，彷彿土地以低語回應。
Soil is both a natural deposit and a vessel of culture and history. Its colors, textures, and names record the temporality of geological transformation while carrying traces of human activity, memory, and local knowledge. This work extends the outcomes of the “Soil Research” project by selecting eighteen kinds of soil from Hsinchu, each fired into ceramic sheets and suspended in space. When touched by the wind, they collide and create sounds that arise by chance, as if the land itself were whispering in response.

這些土壤的顏色不再只是靜態的地質符號，而是被轉譯為視覺的層譜與聲音的共鳴。土壤不再僅是物質，而化為時間的聲音。新竹的風使陶片發聲，正如事件喚起記憶，短暫、偶然，卻揭示出真實的不穩定與流動性。作品透過「材質—顏色—聲響」的轉譯，將土壤由物質轉化為感知經驗。十八種土壤不僅是地層的片段，也交疊為色譜與聲譜，展現出流動的層次。觀者在空間中不僅看見色彩的差異，更聽見土地的共鳴。
These soils are no longer static geological signs but are translated into a visual spectrum and a sonic resonance. Soil is not merely material; it becomes the sound of time. The winds of Hsinchu set the ceramics into motion, just as events awaken memory. The sounds are fleeting and contingent, yet they reveal the instability and fluidity of reality. Through the translation of material into color and sound, the work transforms soil from matter into sensory experience. The eighteen soils are not only fragments of strata but also overlapping spectra of color and sound, unfolding a layered sense of flow. Within the space, viewers can not only see differences in color but also hear the resonance of the land.

真實是否存在於固定的實體之中，抑或僅是一種不斷生成、消逝又再生的迴響？透過風、土與聲音的交織，作品將存在轉化為一種流動的感知，使觀者體會真實從未靜止，它始終在流變之中。
This raises a question: does reality exist as a fixed entity, or only as an echo that is constantly generated, vanishing, and returning? Through the interplay of wind, soil, and sound, the work turns existence into a flowing perception, reminding us that reality has never been still. It is always in flux.
