Nine
The interactive installation artwork titled "Nine" explores the essence of memories and the interest of memory reconstruction or deviation.
In Chinese culture, the number 9 is considered the ultimate yang number and the greatest among odd numbers, imbued with unique significance. The phrase "Nine returns to one" embodies the concept of perpetual cycles, representing an ongoing process of advancement and growth rather than mere repetition. This spiraling cycle, moving from origin to destination and back to a new beginning, persists infinitely, mirroring the endless nature of our memories and life experiences, characterized by both repetitions and unknowns.
