《Gnomon’s Shadow》

The past year has been challenging. People have been forced to slow down and reshape how they use time and space. The world seems to have pressed pause.
As the year of the OX rolls in, we have chosen the water buffalo to symbolize the Taiwanese spirit of hard work, tenacity, and the commitment to perfection that the older generation has exuded. Taiwan’s water buffalo also reflects the spirit of those around the Calligraphy Greenway who live life to the fullest each day, no matter how chaotic the world may seem. Ancient people used sundials to tell time using the sun. Shadows would be cast by a sundial’s gnomon, allowing the tangible to define the intangible. Inspired by this ancient human invention,“Gnomon’s Shadow”translates this concept to a modern context, reflecting how people come to terms with turbulent and uncertain times. The changing abstract form created by lines and falling shadows invites viewers to cherish their most important moments and re-contemplate the meaning of life.
