    我感興趣的是空間的變化過程如何影響人的心理,藉由拍攝不同城市及歷史文化脈絡中傾頹、無人居住的房屋,將逐漸崩壞破敗的建築空間與人之情感記憶作聯結。這系列的攝影,是由不同的透視點和時間點拍攝同一個對象物後,再將這些大量的影像重新組合起來,成為一個壓縮時間、具有紀念碑式美感的空間場所。
    透過這樣的創作過程使消逝空間的意義被提升、價值被轉化。這個城市裡原本棄置無用的空乏之處 ,再度轉換為一個召喚回憶、 潛意識和歷史記憶的入口。重新開啟廢棄空間與城市、歷史對話的可能性,在其衰敗荒蕪之中找尋另一層意義的再生。

    台灣經過長久的殖民時期,留下許多混合多樣文化風格的建築。其中三峽老街便是於日據時代所改建,具有漢人文化、日式家紋及巴洛克風格融合的洋樓。

    What interests me is how spatial transformation affects human psychology. By shooting abandoned, uninhabited buildings in different cities, historical and cultural contexts, I connect the collapsing architectural spaces and people's emotional memories. This photograph series is a huge collage of images on the same object shooting from different perspectives and time slots. It becomes a space with compressed time and aesthetics of monumental style. 
    Through this creation process, the meanings of vanished spaces are elevated, and their values are transformed. These originally abandoned and useless spaces in the city were converted into a port recalling remembrances, the subconscious and historical memories. This reopens the possibility of conversation between the abandoned space, city, and history. Therefore the reborn of another layer of meaning could be found among the decays.

    After a long colonial period, many architectures with mixing styles from different cultures are left in Taiwan. Among them, Sanxia Old Street were reconstructed during the Japanese colonial era. It has western mansions fused with Han Chinese culture, Japanese family crests and Baroque style.
