音 樂 能 量 空 間 隨 心 轉
The Energy of Music
Space Transformed by the Mind
Sound carries a penetrating power that allows it to easily stay in our mind through
the sense of hearing, unlike painting that one must go closer to it in order to
perceive its presence. So, the odds are higher for people to hear sounds (music) and
feel touched than seeing visual artworks.
Music has provided me a tremendous energy and much inspiration in art-making.
Dissimilar music brings out the varying rhythmic vitality in my work. It could be
smooth and overflowing, like Schubert's or Mozart's works; it could be pompous and
majestic, like that of Wagner or Mahler; or it might be exotic, informed by romantic
sentiments, like how Puccini's works make people feel. I have dived into the music of
these composers and glimpsed into their wonderful and unfathomable worlds.
Music carries a unique force that can ease the mind at once and injects excitement
into one's being the next moment. It transports people to different scenarios and
spaces far away from reality for a brief period of time.
For this very reason, music has always been a good friend in the making of my art.
