The Holes by Eighteen
Eighteen explore the relationship between absence and presence through the metaphor of the hole. A hole is more than a void; it is a space of potential, a site of transition—a threshold between existence and non-existence. Does a filled hole cease to be a hole, or does it persist in another form? Yet the void speaks profoundly of what once was or what could be.
Holes are not merely physical; they embody emotional and spiritual dimensions. They serve as places of refuge, offering protection, yet they also signify loss, damage, and absence. In embracing these gaps, Eighteen seek to understand the deeper nature of life—its fragility, its fullness, and the balance between the two.
Through her work, Eighteen engage with the tension between material and immaterial, between loss and presence, striving to reconcile the beauty and necessity of the holes that shape us.
袁一菡通過“洞”的隱喻探索缺失與存在之間的關系。洞不僅僅是一個空缺；它是一個充滿潛力的空間，是存在與不存在之間的過渡和門檻。一個被填滿的洞是否還是洞？這種空缺深刻地訴說著曾經存在或可能存在的事物。洞不僅僅是物理的，它還承載著情感和精神的維度。洞是避難之所，提供保護，但它也標記著損失、破損與缺失。通過擁抱這些空洞，袁一菡試圖深入探討生命的脆弱性與充盈感。在她的作品中，她面對物質與非物質之間的張力，面對失去與存在，試圖調和那些塑造她們的洞所帶來的美與必要性。
