Time exists in events rather than objects, recording their development and changes. It is not merely a point or a line but can also be a surface. The movement of substance requires external forces, generating multidimensional events, while time records their trajectories. Aristotle described time as "a measure of change." Flowing time is fragmented by events, which are interconnected through relationships of mutual distortion, dependence, and promotion. The "Superimposition" series captures these relationships in sculptural form. "Where does time go? "We ask ourselves. During work, time is involved in handling events; When watching a movie, time is in the storyline; When creating sculptures, time is in every piece of clay fragment you shape, and by stacking them together, you inadvertently find them become sculptures of time. Each piece of clay fragment has different forms and sizes, time varies in length, gathering the artist's emotional movements. Some pieces of clay fragment lie quietly, while others like falling rapidly from a high altitude, presenting deformation and compression. They are interdependent, twisted, and stacked, playing a symphony of time. Most of the time is spent in these inadvertent fragments, which may not be noticeable and we don't pay much attention to, but they do take away time. Sports athletes train every day, every month, and every year, while competitions are determined by minutes and seconds, with only one champion. Therefore, it is advocated that athletes value participation, as well as persistent training and the process. Michelangelo used a chisel to carve a sculpture of 'David' on a huge piece of marble in a subtraction manner, taking more than two years to complete. I am trying to imagine that presenting these carved marble fragments in the form of sculptures would be a great artwork, because it did take Michelangelo a long time to shape it in an additive way. In fact, whether it is the champion of a competition or the completion of an artwork, we always see the result, but the premise of the result is the accumulation of a lot of time and effort by athletes and artists, which deserves attention.
