Resin, Bamboo Strips

Size Vary

This piece started with the image of eyes — how they reflect, absorb, and sometimes distort what they see. Eyes are often called the window to the soul, but I wanted to explore them more as vessels of light and memory. When filled with water, the resin model bends light, creating small moments of diffraction, like fragile visions floating between clarity and blur.

The reflector beside it was inspired by the cocoon of a silkworm — a fragile shell that both protects and conceals. I covered its surface with mirror paper, letting the light move and scatter unpredictably. Sometimes it catches everything; sometimes it disappears completely.

During the performance, I kept adjusting the angle of the reflection, trying to find the point where light would meet perfectly — but it almost never did. That small failure, that constant trying, felt close to how we look for understanding in others: brief, uncertain, but still full of tenderness.
