incessantness 是一連串綿延不斷、無邊無際，也無終點與休止的翻閱。這件作品由多冊可翻閱的書籍與一面墨黑的文件牆構成。
頁面作為日子的隱喻，閱讀的行為與時間持續進行，但意義卻不斷被延遲。
作品中的紙材是我的日常筆記與工作文件，抑或是已不再閱讀的舊書報章，書頁上覆以黑色水泥漆，一筆一筆像牆面粉刷，將使用痕跡抹除。透過反覆地遮蔽與勞動，使「等待」、「未抵達」與「不可讀」等心理狀態，轉為可被觸摸與翻閱的經驗。
看似空無的表面，實則布滿了時間與動作的痕跡，閱讀在此不再通往文字，而是通往對閱讀日子本身的覺察。
𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 entails a continuous and boundless sequence of leafing through—one without end or pause. This work is composed of multiple volumes of books that can be flipped through, along with a wall covered with paper documents shrouded in ink-black.
The pages serve as a metaphor for the passing days. While the act of reading and the flow of time progress persistently, the grasp of meaning is perpetually deferred.
The papers used in this work consist of the artist’s daily notes, work documents, and discarded books or old newspapers. Erasing the traces of prior use, each page is coated stroke by stroke with black cement paint, similar to applying paint on a wall. Through repetitive acts of concealment and strenuous physical labor, the psychological states of “waiting," “suspended arrival," and “inaccessibility” are transformed into tactile experiences of paging through.
What appears to be a void is, in essence, saturated with the traces of the artist’s time and labor. Here, reading no longer seeks to recognize words; instead, it unfolds into an awareness of perceiving days in themselves.
