One Life One Dream series, "Realm" (蕾絲書法 —境)

Curator

Luke Chapman

Suspended in mid-air, these floating islands evoke a liminal state, poised between presence and disappearance. The interplay of light and shadow—wherein lace silhouettes bloom into phantasmal mountains and drifting clouds—extends the work’s reach beyond its material boundaries, enveloping the audience in a choreography of perception. Here, shadow is not mere absence, but an active agent: a second protagonist that amplifies the narrative of resilience and delicacy. The artist’s feminist perspective is subtly inscribed in the very material logic of the work—lace as both a signifier of softness and a testament to the strength of craft traditions historically coded as feminine. The installation becomes a site where dichotomies collapse: fragility and fortitude, reality and reverie, are not oppositional but mutually generative. Ultimately, Lace Calligraphy Landscape—Floating Island offers viewers a space of poetic suspension—a terrain where calligraphy, landscape, and light converge, inviting each participant to locate their own sense of agency and wonder within the floating, ever-shifting islands of meaning.
