Shang-Yu HUANG

This work explores the meaning and transformation of objects. For example, when a candle burns, is it still the same candle as before? How do we define "change" and "unchange"? The artist reveals personal contradictions through the work, allowing the images to speak. However, this revelation is selective—do viewers mistake fragmented pieces for the complete truth?

Water droplets serve as carriers of memory, vividly reflecting past images. They draw viewers in, inviting them to step closer, yet an invisible barrier prevents full entry. This paradox of intimacy and distance forces viewers to perceive only the faint outlines of memory through the window of water droplets.

Artist Huang Shang-Yu engages in a continuous dialogue of self-questioning and answering. Just as an answer seems within reach, it slips away again—always elusive. If the answer itself is unknowable, could escaping from uncertainty also be a form of pursuit?
