This soft sculpture artwork, inspired by the surface of water, is adorned with over 100,000 mosaic mirror pieces. Upon close inspection, it presents undulating waves, while from afar it resembles an unchanging and serene water surface, reflecting the ebb and flow of life, change and constancy as one. At the center of the piece sits a lotus flower that seems out of this world. As the lotus flower slowly rotates, it appears to undergo the unpredictable encounters and changes of life.

The upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic, spanning three years, coupled with sudden departures and profound lifestyle changes, has made people deeply aware of the impermanence of
life. Although life is filled with uncertainty, the lotus flower blooming on the water's surface embodies beauty and hope, symbolizing transformation and rebirth. Through this artwork, it is hoped that viewers can accept the reality of impermanence and find inner peace and stability amidst the ever-changing world.

這一件軟雕塑作品，以水面為靈感，綴滿了10萬多片的馬賽克鏡片，近看呈現出起伏的波浪，遠看則彷彿一條平靜不變的水平面，彷彿生命的流動與變化，變與不變，原是一體。作品的中心綴著一朵不屬於這個世界的蓮花，當蓮花緩慢轉動，仿若經歷了生命中無法預測的際遇與改變。

歷時三年的COVID-19疫情動盪，在歷經生命驟然離世，生活型態的巨變後，讓人們深刻感受到了世事的無常。生命雖充滿了不確定性，但水面上綻放的蓮花也蘊含著美麗與希望，象徵著轉化和重生。通過這件作品，希望觀眾能夠接受無常的現實，並在變幻莫測的世界中找到內在的平靜與穩定。
