Echoes between Decay is based on the spatial context of hospital wards, discussing the medical system's intervention and connection with life. The progress in healthcare has enabled the visualization of life's states, resulting in a series of solutions and protocols to cope with illness and death. t also systematically denies death itself - natural death becomes death that can be scientifically accounted for. Based on personal experiences and reflections, the pivotal moments of the medical system in determining death become the central of this work.
The form of this work is based on the functionality of medical equipment, and the deconstruction and deformation of medical space. Through the mutual intervention of materials, the direct connection between function and life is presented. At the same time, the flow of water and air symbolises living beings, contrasting the centre with the sides. The sound of the bubbles creates a connection with the audience, whose gaze on the space completes the work.
