TITLE: En arché en ho Logos — Witness • 70717
SIZE: Oval, 24.5 × 33.5 cm
MEDIUM: Marker pen, imitation gemstones, canvas on panel
YEAR: 2026

En arché en ho Logos — Witness • 70717 constructs form through points, lines, and material incisions, seeking the conditions under which form comes into being. Here, a point is no longer a unit of matter but the first mark through which existence is summoned; a line is not merely a trajectory but an extension of order; an incision is not technique but evidence of a form-giving act. Together, they gesture toward an originating principle that precedes material structure.

Form does not emerge by its own assertion but in response. It appears between the visible and the unseen, much like light revealing itself through a medium. Each mark directs attention beyond itself, allowing matter to become a vessel for the Logos.

Within the tension between origin and appearance, form becomes a threshold through which primordial order may be perceived. Its emergence does not proclaim meaning; rather, its very presence points toward the principle by which all things are given shape.

< 太初有道 - 見證 · 70717 > 透過點、線與材料的刻痕構成形象,探尋形之所以成的根本條件。
在此,點不再是物質的單位,而是存在被召喚的最初印記;線不僅是軌跡,而是秩序的延伸;刻痕並非技法,而是賦形行動的證據。它們共同指向一個先於物質的原初原理。

形象的生成並非自我展現,而是一種回應。
它在可見與不可見之間浮現,如同光在介質中顯現自身。
每一個記號都指向那不可見的起源,使物質成為「道」的載體。

在起源與顯現的張力之中,形象成為一個門檻,使原初的秩序得以被感知。
它的出現並不宣告意義,而是以自身的存在指向那使萬物得以成形的原理。

Daffodils are plants commonly seen everywhere along the riverbank near my home in winter.

In the cold season, they quietly bloom, their white figures standing tall in the winter wind. In the Japanese language of flowers, daffodils not only symbolize hope, strength and rebirth, but also carry the deeper meaning of self-love.

This reminds me of the story in the Bible where a Pharisee lawyer tested Jesus and asked, “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?”
Jesus’ second commandment: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

It is easier said than done, but I will strive to practice it.

What about you? What story has the daffodil ever left in your heart?

水仙,是冬天時在家附近河堤上隨處可見的植物。

在寒冷的季節,它們悄然綻放,潔白的身影挺立在冬風中。日本的花語裡,水仙除了象徵希望、堅強與再生,更帶有自愛的深意。

這讓我想起聖經中,一位律法師試探耶穌時問道:「夫子,律法上哪一條誡命是最大的呢?」
耶穌回答的第二條誡命:要愛人如己。
你們願意人怎樣待你們,你們也要怎樣待人。
說易行難,但我會努力去實踐。

你呢?水仙又曾在你心中留下什麼故事?
