This artwork is a large-scale mixed-media installation that incorporates an upright piano and found objects. It is composed of a power structure, visuals, and objects. Starting from the disappearance of a factory as its starting point, with the sounds of the piano's strikes, the gradual decay and off-key notes, and the movement of paper scrolls operating in hourly increments during each 12-second activation, it realigns with the twelve years of the factory's disappearance in my home. By carrying a certain segment of personal life experience, it attempts to reconnect it to the experience and perception of living in Bali. Through the collection of fragmented material (Bali), it re-welds the two endpoints (dwelling) together, like an invisible suspension bridge, loosely bound yet slightly adhesive. The sphere in the drawer, stained with dirt, slowly realigns, synchronizes, and refracts through the movement of power, mirror surfaces, and celestial-like imagery, blending together to create a poetic.

這件作品為一件大型複合式裝置,整體以一臺立式鋼琴與拾得物進行組裝,由動力結構、影像、物件共構而成。從一座工廠的消逝作為起點,隨著鋼琴的敲擊聲響,陶指的逐漸崩落與走音,紙捲的位移以小時為單位運轉,在每一次啟動的12秒運作,都重新對位回家中工廠消逝的十二年,藉著夾帶著個人生命經驗中的某段切片,試圖將其連接回八里居住的經驗與感知,透過一種對於物質碎片化的蒐集(八里),重新將兩個端點(居所)焊接再一塊,如同一座看不見的吊橋,鬆散之間帶點黏著,抽屜中沾附汙濁的球體隨著動力的運轉,緩慢地透過鏡面與如同星體運轉的影像重新對位、同步、折射,藉此揉雜成一首關於物的詩篇。
