「壓傷的蘆葦，他不折斷；將殘的燈火，他不吹滅。」——以賽亞書 42:3

作品借鏡網路平台盛行的氛圍性影像（ambience video），取其非敘事與環境性的形式語彙，轉化為一處引導觀者進入內在凝視的感知場域。畫面以前景孤燃的篝火為起點，與遠方廢墟教堂的微光相互呼應，象徵心靈在幽暗之境中仍被某處召喚。火光指向尚未熄滅的靈魂，而廢墟提醒著殘缺不等於終結；即便身在混沌，仍能以微弱卻持續的光維持自身。

場域中置放的象徵性物件指向記憶與自我凝視。它們不構成敘事，而是在靜默中留下待回答的問題。循環播放的火焰使時間失去方向性，形成一種近乎永恆的停留，邀請觀者面對自身脆弱、渴望與未竟之處。

那團火既是破碎中的光，也是靈魂未滅的印記。
它不給答案，只在靜默中回應每一位仍在尋光的人。

“A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out.”
— Isaiah 42:3

Built upon the visual language of contemporary white-noise imagery, this work extends into an inward landscape of contemplation. The sounds of rain and fire intersect within silence, becoming symbols of both healing and struggle. The solitary bonfire and the faint light from a distant ruined church echo one another—like a soul being called from the darkness of life’s wilderness.

What I seek is not the glory of illumination, but the posture held amid the storm—the existence that chooses to keep faith within uncertainty and chaos. The fire signifies the soul that continues to burn; the ruins embody the conviction that brokenness does not mean the end. These images recall the spiritual resilience in Caspar David Friedrich’s paintings of ruins—structures shattered, yet standing firm in the wind.

The installation is permeated with metaphors of faith: the boat, the well, the wooden cross, and the mirror all point toward memory, redemption, and self-reflection. The looping flame constructs a sense of eternal time, inviting the viewer to face their own fragility and longing in silence.

That flame is both the light within ruin and the imprint of an undying soul—it offers no answer, but silently responds to all who still seek the light.
