“天地相合,以降甘露。”——《老子》

在中国古代,甘露被视作“德惠之泽”与“太平之兆”,其亦被帝王将相当成延年益寿的瑞物,历史上更有汉武帝建承露盘的记载。甘露降祥,润泽万物,古人通过采撷甘露承接天地之福禄。作品表现的即是金黄璀璨的“承露盘”与斑斓流彩的“水露”意象。通过捕捉甘露降下的瞬间,缓缓道出天地自然、天人合一的东方哲思。

随着当代科技的发展,所有的一切都在分化与符号化,自然可以“人造化”,人的意识可以被数据解析,来自自然的人却离自然越来越远。作品使用冰冷坚硬的金属和柔和易碎的水露琉璃这两种截然不同的材料,寓意现代文明发展对生态环境的干扰,带给观者强烈的视觉冲击,启发观者思考人与自然的关系和生态环境的保护问题。

人们漫步于展览现场,欣赏文化遗产琉璃工艺,聆听海潮的声音,调动五感经验,获得沉浸式体验。作品将东方传统意象与当代艺术装置相结合,创造了一个使观者可体验、可参与的剧场空间,实现了中国传统文化的当代艺术语言转化。

When Heaven and Earth are in harmony, sweet dew will descend. – Laozi

In ancient China, dew was seen as a symbol of social peace and tranquility and a sacred object that prolonged life. People received the blessings bestowed by nature by collecting dew. The work comprises sculptures in the form of plates and dew. By capturing the moment when the dew falls, the work expresses the oriental philosophy of heaven, earth, nature, and harmony between man and nature.

With the development of modern science and technology, everything is being differentiated and symbolized. Nature can be "man-made," and human consciousness can be analyzed by data. People who come from nature are getting farther and farther away from nature. The work uses two completely different materials: hard metal and fragile dew-shaped glass, implying the interference of the development of modern civilization on the ecological environment. The work can bring a strong visual impact on the viewer and inspire viewers to think about the protection and concern of natural ecology and the relationship between future world development and ecological balance.

The whole site has been carefully designed with a spatial and installed layout. People can stroll through it and admire the cultural heritage of glass craftsmanship, listen to the sound of the sea tide, and get an immersion experience with a sense of theater. The work combines oriental traditional imagery with contemporary art installations and creates a theater space that allows viewers to experience and participate. Ultimately, it can realize the transformation of traditional Chinese culture into contemporary artistic language.
