The auspicious iconography of the wheel first appeared in Indus Valley (2500 BCE) as a solar symbol, which represents the phenomena of motion, continuity and change of the universe. Buddhism later adapted this symbol to represent “the wheel of dharma” of Buddha’s teaching.

9 antique wooden clocks deconstructed and reconstructed to redefine the framework of time. The center of the frame exists a cube of light that slowly rotates clockwise floating and glowing in a seemingly endless space. The piece intends to connect the notion of “the present” in Buddhism and the constant moving and changing nature of our observable universe, thus inviting viewers to contemplate on the mystery of time.

《八十八吉祥之時間的法輪》

九個古董鐘、鏡面玻璃，LED燈、黃銅、鋁、帶有微型電腦的動力和音訊組件。

法輪的圖像最早出現在距今4500年的印度河流域文明。原本為代表太陽的造型，同時象徵宇宙中的不斷變化運行的表象。佛教後來繼承法輪圖像並賦予「佛法輪轉，度化眾生」的吉祥象徵。

九個古董木製時鐘經過解構和重建，賦予時間新的定義。在作品中心存在著一個光之立方體，它慢慢地順時針旋轉，漂浮在一個看似無窮的空間中閃爍著光芒。該作品旨在將佛教中「當下」的概念，與我們可觀察到的宇宙不斷運作和變化的本質相連結，從而引發觀眾深思時間的奧秘。
