The conch shell is a musical instrument used to spread the teachings of Buddha, symbolizing the far-reaching and nature of Buddhist teachings.

 

The artwork reinterprets the conch's significance. Its open form is seen as an object capable of emitting messages, transforming into a powerful sounding horn. The spiral curves of the shell echo the curves of the human body, creating a strong visual and emotional connection. This symbolizes the fleeting nature of human desires and impulses. It represents the accumulation of inner longings and the need to express these desires. Additionally, an antenna for transmitting messages is incorporated into the opening of the conch. The light diffused from the center is an inherent energy. This light is not just a visual highlight but also signifies the release on emotional and spiritual levels.

海螺是一種樂器,透過它發出的聲音傳播佛陀教義,原意為佛法的無遠弗屆,圓通無礙。

 

作品轉化海螺傳遞的含義,其開口形狀被視為一種可以宣洩訊息的物件,成為了一個強烈發聲的號角。在形狀上,螺形的曲線與肉體的曲線相呼應,創造出一種強烈的視覺和情感連結,象徵著人類慾望的浮翩聯想和壓抑不住的衝動。表達出人們內在想望的凝聚和累積,以及對這些慾望發洩的需求。此外,海螺開口中有個能無遠弗屆傳遞訊息的天線,中間發射出來的光芒,彷彿一種曖昧而內含的能量。這種光芒不僅是視覺上的亮點,更是情感和精神層面的釋放。
