Concept
Life is a self-confrontation game, where we're both player and opponent.
人生是一場自我抗衡的遊戲，我們既是棋手也是對手。
這座空間的建築本身蘊含著二元性——黑與白、光與影、自我與他者——卻同時揭示了它們彼此之間隱而不顯的聯繫。互動藉由「落子」這一具身動作展開，每一次沉思後的棋子放置，都會觸發環境的轉換，映照生命旅程中每一個正在展開的時刻。
在這場冥想般的探索中，參與者逐漸意識到這盤棋的對手，最終是自己。他們既是玩家，也是棋子；既是建築師，也是居住者；於循環的敘事中行走，每一個終點，皆是另一個起點的種子。
作品並不是提供答案，而是邀請觀者在這片沉思之境中，創造屬於自己的意義。於此，古老哲思與當代科技交會，展開一場關於知覺、二元與自我意識的靜謐對話。
"Will we ultimately find ourselves?"
Spatial Narrative & Interaction Framework
The work is structured as a spatial narrative in which movement, orientation, and proximity gradually shift the participant's perceptual relationship with the environment.
Rather than guiding the participant through task-driven interaction, the experience unfolds through approach, hesitation, distance, and pause, allowing perception itself to become the narrative process, and turning interaction into a reflective, relational act instead of a mechanical action.
Go Board grid & Chinese Knot
The entwined grid of the Go board and Chinese knots form a web of life's intricacies, one with a bound and the other with a blessing. As black and white engage in play, the game cycle unfolds, merging with the endless reincarnation and trans-composition of Yin and Yang in Chinese philosophy.
"Opposition and Unity: Embracing the Duality of Self and Perspective Shifts."
The Figure-Ground Illusion, also known as the Rubin vase or "The Two Faces, One Vase Illusion," elegantly portrays a captivating composition. Here, the Rubin vase merges with elements of Chinese aesthetics, crafted as the base of a stone table used for playing Go. It symbolizes the opposition between two surfaces, yet in essence, they are one, representing the continuous transformation of inner self-conflict.
