Nick Dong's "Becoming HoriZon" Creates a Fantasy Experience with Eastern Meditation

2023 May 11

Amid the fear and uncertainty brought about by the turbulence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nick Dong sought to create a work that would offer comfort and healing. This intention gave rise to Becoming Horizon.

Explaining his choice of water as the central theme, Dong shares,

“The imagery of water is ever-changing, yet always the same.”

Visualizing Eastern contemplation and meditative states has always been a captivating hallmark of Dong’s artistic practice.

Becoming Horizon is composed of over 100,000 hand-crafted mirrored mosaic pieces, infusing the senses with rhythmic movement, music, and dynamic lighting. The installation provides an immersive meditation experience that is both joyful and calming.

因為疫情期間社會動盪帶來的恐慌與不安，董承濂希望創作一件能帶給人安心與療癒感受的作品，《若水》因此誕生。

談及以水為主題的原因，董承濂表示：

水的意象，永遠在變化，又永遠不變。

將東方冥思與入定轉化為具象表現，一直是董承濂作品令人著迷的特質。

《若水》由超過十萬片手工製作的鏡面馬賽克組成，融合律動、音樂與跳動的光影，為觀眾帶來愉悅且寧靜的沉浸式冥想體驗。
