Video/Computer Animation  錄像/電腦動畫  1'40"  2013 This animation follows the same concept from “The path of water”. I also adapted many ideas from my oil paintings such as “The journey of water and the rose petal” and “Dancer in water”. Roses are often regarded as the symbol of love. That’s what I intend to discuss in this piece of work. The animation starts with a floating petal and a road leading somewhere. The camera surfs through this rose like structure. Many water molecules transform into different forms during the journey. In the end, the camera dolly out to an overlook angle revealing that image consists of many similar rose structures. Then the camera dolly in the structure again. The journey is actually an endless cycle along the path. Love is blind. We often lose our sensible mind when we fall in love. It seems like within the rose structure that we can only see some elements or those items. We don’t see the overall picture until we pull ourselves out of the situation. But we often got attracted in this fantastic illusion over and over again. If water has its soul, it knew the cycle will end where it begins. Somehow it still embarks its indefinite journey for the sake of love. It's something magic, isn't it? This animation has been selected in the 3rd edition of MashRome Film Fest in Rome, It  is screening at the AraPacis Museum at June.2014 It has also been selected into Cologne OFF X – 10th Cologne International Videoart Festival, screening in Cologne, Germany and Athens Animfest 2015  ,screening in Athens, Greece. 這件作品延續著「水的路線」的相同觀念。我採用了幾件油畫作品的圖像例如「水與花瓣的旅程」等等來組成這件作品。玫瑰常被視為愛的表徵，這是我想在這件作品中表達的主題 動畫由一個漂浮的玫瑰花瓣和通向不知處的道路開始，在這旅程中許多的水分子變化成不同形式出現在畫面中。最後鏡頭倒推到一個俯視角度顯示出其實這是由許玫瑰組合而成的結構體。然後鏡頭又開始往下潛進這個重複的路徑，這個旅程其實是個在其中的無盡循環。 愛是盲目的。當我們戀愛時我們常常失去理智，就像在玫瑰結構中我們只能看到某些元素或成分。直到我們退到這個狀況的遠方我們才得以窺見整體的結構和全貌。但是我們不斷地被這個令人目眩神迷的幻象吸引著。正如同水如果有它自己的靈魂，它一開始就知道它會再度回到旅程開始的起點，它依然開啟其它無窮盡的旅途，全都是為了愛，這不是一件很神奇的事嗎？ 本作品入選第三屆MashRome Film Fest，於2014年六月份在義大利羅馬的Ara Pacis Museum播放展出。也入選Cologne OFF X – 第十屆科隆國際錄像藝術影展在德國科隆市播放展出(2014)和雅典動畫影展在希臘雅典市播出(2015)。

Video/Computer animation 錄像/電腦動畫 Full HD(1920x1080) 4'51" 2013 This 3D animation consists of many metaphors within a variety of moving images. There is no solid story line. The theme actually reflects my mental responses towards the world, conveying my value system throughout years of experiences. This work somehow implied that water has its own will, deciding where to flow regardless of any obstacle it may encounter. It will detour or penetrate in order to reach its destination. Regardless of how we perceive the image of water, it flows along its own path in a long cycle with or without human intervention. This animation is accepted by  Blue Plum Animation Festival (Johnson City, TN,USA ), MeshRome Film Fest(Rome,Italy), World Arts Film Festival (Florida, USA),  Cologne OFF X – 10th Cologne International Videoart Festival( Cologne, Germany) and Creative  Animation Knowledge Exchange 2014( Ormskirk,  Lancashire, United Kingdom), 14th Kansas International Film  Festival (Overland Park, Kansas.

3D Computer animation 電腦動畫 Full  HD(1920x1080), 3'15", 2013 I have adapted many ideas from my subconscious mind, utilizing them in my creations. On a scientific plane, I am sure there is logic behind some of those images, however that is not as important to me as the mysterious composition and fantastic content. For this image, I painted with oil first.  Much of my later work stemmed from this concept. We often see water dripping from above into a pond, pool or other body of water.  In this phenomenon, the flowing direction is determined by the gravity of the earth which appears to be downwards. What if there are two gravitational forces drawing water drops towards both right and left sides, then what would you see?  I think there are many ways to interpret this dichotomy. You could see it as two powers fighting against each other. You could also see it as a mechanism to balance both forces in the world. The water forms on both sides remain still for a while, then they start to shake and entwine with each other due to the gravity relocation. The balance will be reached when the changes are done. Either still or moving is essential elements to create the state of balance. In the end of animation, water ponds exchange their positions completely. It may appear the same to the audience. As a matter of fact, these two ponds contain different content of water. I try to offer my audience a visual experience that you may look at this animation in any direction. This animation has been selected in the 3rd edition of MashRome Film Fest in Rome, It  is screening at the Ara Pacis Museum at June.2014 這個概念是來自我冥想時，腦中浮現這幅水在兩側的畫面。我從潛意識運作當中攫取了許多的創意並運用他們在我的藝術創作當中。我相信他們的產生有合理的解釋，但我並不在意為什麼。我寧可專注在他們神秘的構圖和奇幻的內容當中。 這件作品是一個絕佳的例子，我先用它畫了一張油畫，然後我衍生發展出許多的概念。我們經常看到水滴入池塘、水池或其他容器當中。在這個現象中，流動的方向是由地球的引力決定，如我們看到的是往下的。 如果有兩個引力把水往左右兩方拉過去，那麼會是什麼景象？我想有非常多方式可以權勢是這種二元分立論。你可以解釋為兩個力量的互相征戰。你也可看成平衡這個世界的兩個機制和力量。兩旁的水一開始是靜態的，然後他們開始因為引力的互換位置而震動和交纏糾葛在一起。當改變完成之後又建立起另外一個平衡，不管是靜態或動態都是構成平衡狀態的基本元素。 最後在動畫的尾端，水池完全地易位完成。對觀眾而言可能看來是完全一樣的。事實是上他們的水是不同的內容。我嘗試提供觀者一個可以從任何方向來看這作品的視覺經驗。 本作品入選第三屆MashRome Film Fest，於2014年六月份在義大利羅馬的Ara Pacis Museum播放展出。
