Dark Harmony
黑暗的和諧
by Sanyu Ho 何羨漁
Hong Kong (Based in Toronto)
作品的靈感源於切爾諾貝爾的事件:近年發現了能吸收輻射的黑色真菌和適應輻射環境的黑皮膚青蛙,以至早前俄軍無人機的攻擊。畫面中巨大的真菌從混凝土蓋棺中破土而出,周圍環境如黑色菌類和動植物的天堂 。畫面中的生物,象徵著靈性與自然的韌性。
這些黑色生物展現了不同層次的黑,象徵著未知與潛在的可能性。雖然表面上看似黑暗,但這種黑色卻蘊含著希望與生機。作品想像了多年後人類重返這片土地時,生物已進化,展現出強大的適應能力。通過這幅作品,作者表達了在惡劣環境中生物的韌性與生機,同時對人類的工業與戰火活動提出了批評與反思。
“Dark Harmony” draws inspiration from the events at Chernobyl, including the discovery of black fungi that absorb radiation and black-skinned frogs adapted to radioactive environments and Russian drone strike. The artwork features enormous fungi breaking through a concrete tomb, surrounded by a paradise of black flora and fauna, symbolizing spirituality and nature’s resilience.
These creatures embody varying shades of black, representing the unknown and potential. While they seem dark, this darkness contains hope and life. The piece envisions a future where humans return to an evolved landscape, reflecting on the adaptability of life in harsh conditions and critiquing human industrial and wartime activities.
