The hot-formed Self series presents the essence of self in a Chinese character.
The shape is based on the Chinese Character of Self 自. The element of the form is abstracted from the calligraphy strokes. The glass is sculpted. The bubbles inside the work indicate the space between the line and the breath – the qi/energy needed for writing and making. The bubble also creates the inner space, the reflection of one-self and the other-self who is looking at the work. Two bubbles in the base of the work is ‘Almost Self’, and four bubbles in the base of the work is ‘More Than Self’ – because three bubbles represent the three spaces between lines in the Chinese Character of Self自.
以熱塑製作的《自》系列作品，代表中文「自」字的精髓。作品的形狀以「自」為基礎，概念來自書法藝術筆劃的形態。作者在玻璃的表面上雕刻加工。在作品中，氣泡代表呼吸與線條之間的空間，也就是寫作與製作所需的力氣。這個氣泡也建立起內部空間，自身與他者注視著作品的反射。三個氣泡代表著在中文字「自」的三個空間，所以在作品下方的兩個氣泡，是「接近自我」，而四個氣泡則是「超越自我」。
