Melting Voice 是我於2018年末開啟的藝術研究計畫，對於非物質(物質)記憶之於存在主體的探問，對於(聲音)⾝體的死亡與再生的想像，以及療癒與轉化傷痛的可能。
Melting Voice is an ongoing research project I have been working on since 2018. Inspired by the unreadable messages sent from my grandmother, after her death the decontextualised texts stored on my cellphone becomes mystery, meaning deconstructs and regenerates itself through time, the space we create for imagination grows and the dynamic relationship interchanging between the giver and the receiver. We engage in the moment ice melts and freezes again and again — witness the fading voice, the fading memories, they become movable existence, transcend time and space.

Melt, freeze, melt.
Breathe.
Inhale, then exhale.
voice is your identity.
language is your identity.
Freeze, melt, freeze.
Write word on the ice.
Let it melt.
Observe the diffusion of ice, listen to the voice in your head.
word melts with ice.
voice melts with ice.
identity melts with ice.
Freeze, melt, freeze
Breathe.
Inhale, then exhale.
again and again
It is the circulation of life and death
There is boundary between us.
There is no boundary between us.
limited becomes limitless.
we are movable existences.
Let the ice melt, listen to the voice in your head.
inaudible is becoming audible.
