本作以一株枯樹為核心意象,透過剪枝與澆灌等緩慢且重複的行動,引發對「修復」與「轉化」的聯想。在靜默的視覺敘事中,枯枝不僅象徵生命的停滯與內在的枯竭,也映照人在困境中可能出現的精神斷裂;而修剪與灌溉則被視為一種具介入性且持續性的操作,指向重新調整與應對現狀的可能。
作品試圖透過凝視這段看似平凡、卻蘊含張力的過程,回看人與荒蕪之間的關係。當慣性被鬆動、感知結構略為偏移之際,行動或許得以發生,而改變的可能性也在其中緩慢浮現。
This work centers on the image of a withered tree, employing slow and repetitive actions of pruning and watering to evoke associations with repair and transformation. Within its silent visual narrative, the barren branches symbolize not only stagnation and inner depletion, but also reflect the psychological fractures that may emerge in times of adversity. The gestures of pruning and watering are positioned as sustained and deliberate interventions, pointing to the possibility of readjustment and re-engagement with one’s condition.
Rather than emphasizing dramatic change or resolution, the video focuses on a seemingly ordinary yet tension-laden process, reexamining the relationship between the individual and desolation. When habitual modes are loosened and perceptual structures slightly shifted, the conditions for action may emerge—along with the slow surfacing of change as a possibility.
