「川流之魄」──川流時空動靜中，凝佇、不安、傾洩，永恆的靈魄，永恆的自由！
“Movements of the Soul” refers to the halt, restlessness, overflow, and eternal quality of the soul amid the flow of time and space, at ease for all eternity.
喟嘆人之生命何謂？推到極致，人的生命可能被化約到只剩時間與空間的集合。人，總在不斷逝去的時間之中游移，穿梭立身於接連卻相異的空間之中。時間空間疊加交錯，人在其中因此作為一種顯現，然後成為一種存在，而「川流之魄」正表明著人生命的這種存在。
What is the meaning of life? The human life can be seen as nothing more than a collection of time and space. Human beings are constantly moving between the past and present, standing amid time and space that is connected but separate at the same time. Amongst the layering of time and space, human beings are like embodiments, a form of existence. “Movements of the Soul” is a display of the human condition.
在時間隨動靜的川流之中，已然化作窗外景觀式的片段記憶，幕幕斷續飛逝，徒留殘像的斑駁。幽黑，總在作品扮演著關鍵性角色，其他顏色的大面積塗抹，形成了氣象萬千的遮蔽。遮蔽，反而揭露了背後勢力不甘被掩藏的精彩，不斷奮力在罅隙處竄顯，傾洩出人與生俱來找尋出口的生命力。
The other colors seem to be fighting the last battle with the black hue. The low-saturated but vibrant colors strive to cover the composition, resembling the mist in distant skies, forming an ever-changing cover. However, the cover reveals the force lying behind, which does not wish to be concealed, agitating restlessly in their state of suppression as the instinct of liveliness overflows.
喟嘆人之生命何謂？推到極致，人的生命絕非時間空間的集合而已。人之生命應該是時間空間川流之中的靈魄，劃破幽黑的桎梏，不惑於動靜的引誘，穿透洞悉世俗如夢幻泡影的景觀，在遮蔽與顯露的兩股勢力之間悠然來去。人的生命作為「川流之魄」終將獲致最大的自由，而得以永恆。
What is the meaning of life? The human life is definitely more than a collection of time and space. The human life should be the soul, moving amid time and space, breaking free from the chains of darkness and unmoved by the lure of activity, penetrating the dreamlike scenery of this world and moving at ease between the forces of concealing and revealing. Through becoming “Movements of the Soul,” the human life achieves utmost freedom and eternity.
