Ficus Microcarp 榕樹

Theme : Relationship (Karma)
主題:人的關係

Creation idea
Relationship is interconnected for human kind just like the aerial roots and branches that form parts and parcels of this ficus bonsai. The roots imply relationship is complex and actively changing similar to the belief of Buddhism : cause and effect.
The stainless steel rectangular pot represents this modern mechanical and cold society. Through the reflection of the pot, this work, surrounding and viewers become one body. Different time and space reveal different relationship. This portrays the true essence of Zen Buddhism, namely “Nothingness”.

創作理念
透過榕樹的氣根與樹枝把(因緣)具象化,平行與交叉的樹枝與氣根,分別代表人們關係是平行線或是有交集,錯綜複雜的氣根與樹枝構成一顆榕樹,隱喻人的關係網絡複雜變化,但是人與人的關係是一個密不可分的整體。
矩形的不銹鋼,象徵機械、冷漠的現在社會,人與人的關係在這種社會中互動。透過鏡面不銹鋼的反射,作品和觀賞者與環境融為一體,不同的角度與時空有著不同變化,體現禪宗(無念為宗 無相為體 無住為本)的內涵。
