The first flower appeared 130 million years ago. Long before language, before humans, before technology existed.
Bloom, wither, iterate.
An endless cycle of destruction and rebirth. Every extinction gave way to new life. Every collapse became the soil for what comes next.
the Void Garden holds this cycle inside a cube. An endless garden, stretching from the deep past into a future with no horizon. Iteration after iteration, color shifting day after day, migrating from the past toward the future.
The world has been through chaos. Ice ages, wildfires, mass extinctions, wars, conflicts. Yet through every devastation, a flower still finds its way back to the surface.
In the unseen time ahead, the flower stands deep within the haze, blooming, lighting up the future.
In this chaotic world, step into the garden. It is still growing.

「家——當然不是指房屋建築在遙遠的地方,卻又縈繞著離我們最近的記憶。家是追憶,甚可說某種屬於夢的領域的東西,尤其對於我這樣沒有家、到處輾轉租著房子、不停在都市流浪而言,那種感覺更是無法逃避。無庸置疑,家只存在於我遙遠的夢裡。」
_中平卓馬、篠山紀信 「決鬥寫真論」
有時候早上醒來的時候,會對於場景有一種錯位感,有時會感覺像台北的租屋處、有時是新竹的老家,在發現自己盯著Williamsburg Bridge發呆的時候會有一種格外的超現實感,彷彿突然從一個被身體化的空間當中被抽離,一種像是幻肢症的錯覺感,現在的我很喜歡紐約,但身體好像還沒適應。
在搬離台灣前的半年左右,決定慢慢把所有被身體化的場景記錄下來,從新竹住處床頭的檯燈到大直住處轉角的阿貓先生。對於家的感受其實一直以來無法有一個具體的定義,發現是所到之處,慢慢地就會形成對於空間的一種連結,大概會慢慢變成一種可以叫做家的形狀。
㉖,應該是過去的生活中轉換最劇烈的階段,身份的轉換、居住地的轉換、想法的轉換,在慢慢穿越一座迷霧森林和昏黃光線的長隧道之後,崎嶇山路轉角處我看到的是從遠山的稜線探出一絲一絲明晰的曙光。謝謝所有身邊發生的人事物,我是一個很幸運的人,認真的喔。
㉖, may be the largest transition of my life. New identity, new place, new thoughts. Feeling like driving through a misty forest and a long, dim tunnel. Starting to see clear shimmering lights along the spine of mountains. Thanks to every moment of my life, every person I met, I am a lucky person, and I truly believe so.
