FLUID is a work of flowing air sculpture /gas sculpture created by scent which is intangible and invisible.

(Carefully blended) Solid incense burns and transforms into a gaseous state, flowing through pipes and ultimately attaching to the surface of water or being absorbed into it, transitioning into a liquid state.

This work aims to capture the transition of the substance, allowing the audience to sense this gentle transformation slowly and have a meditative experience.

Generally, ash signifies death or an end, while water signifies life. In this work, paradoxically, the incense is born from ash, flows in a circle of life, and meets its death in water, creating a reversed, paradoxical landscape of strange beauty.

The mirror of the afterlife reflects the life of this single cycle and illuminates the landscape flowing through the twists and turns of life.
