Kūkan | 「空观」（日语「空间」音译，暗合佛教空性观）是一场关于时间本质与空间形态的沉思旅程。这组作品以循环的动态画面呈现，一个无尽延展的超现实空间，宛如时间的建筑——既无始，又无终。镜头在无限的结构中向前推进，空间似在重复，却又不断演化，仿佛时间本身具备一种几何的秩序。周遭的“建筑”并非实体，而是一种时间的具象化表达，每一面墙壁，每一道光线，都是时间的碎片。画面的尽头，人像若隐若现，静默地注视，或许是未来的自己，亦或是时间之眼。
这件作品试图脱离传统的叙事逻辑，不去描绘一个单一的情节，而是通过空间的无限性与循环性，唤起观者对时间、记忆以及存在意义的哲学思考。它并非一个“世界”，而是一种“状态”，一种关于时间的视觉化呈现。时间在这里是结构，是建筑，是轨迹，同时也是永恒的空白。
观察者终于理解《中论》的深意——「不生亦不灭，不常亦不断」的并非时间本身，而是人类对确定性的执念。
"Kūkan " is a contemplative journey into the nature of time and the form of space. The work is presented as a circular motion picture, a surreal space of endless extension, like the architecture of time - neither beginning nor end. The camera moves forward in the infinite structure, the space seems to be repeating itself, yet evolving, as if time itself has a geometric order. The surrounding "buildings" are not solid, but a kind of figurative expression of time, every wall, every light is a fragment of time. At the end of the picture, a human figure looms, staring silently, perhaps his future self, or the eye of time.
This work tries to break away from the traditional narrative logic, not to depict a single plot, but to evoke philosophical thinking about time, memory and the meaning of existence through the infinity and circularity of space. It is not a "world", but a "state", a visualization of time. Time here is a structure, an architecture, a trajectory, and at the same time an eternal void.
The observer finally understands the deeper meaning of the Theory of the Middle Kingdom - that it is not time itself that is "neither born nor perishable, impermanent nor constant", but the human obsession with certainty.
