我的作品名稱: 28800 秒
早安=晚安
臺灣和英國八小時的時差
家鄉和異鄉 流動在288800秒中
月亮和太陽在時差中銜接傳遞
白天和夜晚 竟巧妙地交棒

餐桌上 是早餐也是晚餐
時間的餐盤忙著輪流上菜
我漂浮在時差兩地的生活
諦視一個有趣的時間流
飄渺 無形
展場八個圓 佈滿創作者的手印
傾訴時間流動 與時差的對話
指紋是每個人的專屬 獨一無二
瓷土圈捏塑每一枚指紋
最貼膚的身分辨識
巧妙的簽名形式
圓形象徵著時間無止境的流轉
不同顏色的圓圈
詮釋看不到也摸不到的時差
記註在時差中的酸甜苦辣
是心情的顏色
異鄉的生活
文化的差異 文化的認同
時間是用來沉澱自我和調適流轉
身在英國 心繫臺灣
遠方的家人!遙遠的朋友!
輪流捎來的關懷
只有溫度 距離不會因此而降溫
早安=晚安

Translation
Good morning, good evening
Taiwan and Britain have an eight hours time gap
Homeland and foreign land flowing in 28800 seconds
Sun and moon changes in different time zones
Day swaps to night and night swaps to day
On my table, breakfast is dinner, dinner is breakfast
Time passes through each meal
My life is floating in between,
Time flow is an interesting process
Ethereal, Invisible
Eight circular forms are displayed in the show,
This highlights my fingerprints, my identity
The conversation is between time flow and time gap
Everybody’s fingerprints are unique
Each fingerprint is constructed through porcelain
Fingerprints are closest thing to personal identity
Fingerprints are the artists’ signatures
Circular forms are a symbol were time has no end.
Different colour circular forms,
Colour symbolises different hour gaps
Eight colours; eight hours difference
But time isn’t tangible like these ceramics
Happiness and sadness aren’t tangible like these ceramics
Changing colours, shifting emotions
I am living in a foreign land
Cultural differences, identity shifts
Time is only way to allow people to ponder and think.
My body is in Britain, my heart is in Taiwan
My family, my friends
They care for me
Through long distances we keep in touch
Good morning, good evening
