DARK HALO

"Does it oscillate, coalesce, or not exist?"

Before God could light the torch of the world, He needed "darkness" as kindling, as evidence of the existence of "light.” He brings revelation to all His people: How can we see the light without the darkness?

Dark Halo depicts a worldview in which "darkness" is the subject, where even substances that cannot be seen or do not have a direct effect still have their potential for great energy and meaning. The inner core of the device gathers a lightless substance, which leads to a constantly rotating light grating on the outer circle. At this moment, darkness reigns supreme, and people use the grating as a filter to perceive the "blackness" that dominates the order. The oracular proverb flashes into their minds: God says that the darkness has not dissipated if there is light.

We look at the blackness in front of us, look into the existence and non-existence of the inside, and gradually become one with it.

「它振盪，它凝聚，它不存在？」

在神燃點世界的火把之前，祂需要「黑暗」作為火種，作為「光」存在的證據。祂帶來啟示，敬告所有子民：沒有黑暗，又如何看見光亮？

Dark Halo 暗暈 描繪了以「黑暗」作為主體的世界觀，即使是看不見或不具直接作用的物質，仍有其潛藏的巨大能量與意義。裝置內核聚集一抹無光的物質，牽引外圈不停轉動的光柵。此刻，黑暗至上，人們以光柵作為濾鏡，感知主宰秩序的「黑」，神諭般的箴言閃現腦中：神說有光，黑暗便未曾消散。

我們如此靜靜看著眼前的黑，望向那存在又不存在的內裡，逐漸地與它融為一體。
