袁心元 : 兩棵樹與群鳥
Yuan Hsin-Yuan : Two Trees and a Flock of Birds
本次展出的新作中，袁心元進一步回應木材自身的生命歷程。作品中的孔洞與鏤空結構源自木材自然腐朽後留下的痕跡，藝術家在清除腐壞部分的過程中，保留了這些意外生成的空間，並將其轉化為作品的重要組成。
對袁心元而言，這些由材料自身形成的留白，如同兩棵樹之間、群鳥之間，或人與人之間所存在的距離。它們既是容納他者的空間，也是一處能夠安放自身感受的位置。相較於實體形態，這些空缺反而成為作品中最具張力的部分。
在此次創作中，藝術家將部分主導權交還給材料本身。木材的紋理、裂痕與自然變化不再只是媒材特性，而成為共同塑造作品的力量。透過形體與留白、存在與空缺之間的交錯關係，作品進一步探討關於共存、距離與連結的可能。
In this new body of work, Yuan Hsin-Yuan responds to the life of the material itself. The cavities and openings found throughout the sculptures originate from areas of natural decay within the wood. Rather than removing these traces entirely, the artist preserves them, allowing the resulting spaces to become an essential part of the work.
For Yuan, these voids serve as a metaphor for relationships—between two trees, among a flock of birds, or between one person and another. They suggest both a space that welcomes others and a place where one's own emotions may settle. More than an absence, these openings become active elements that shape how the works are experienced.
By relinquishing part of her control to the material, Yuan embraces the grain, cracks, and natural transformations of the wood as collaborators in the creative process. Through the interplay of form and void, presence and absence, the works explore ideas of coexistence, distance, and connection, while opening up new possibilities for seeing and inhabiting space.
