The undulations of the water’s surface arise from the continuous interplay of tension among water molecules. What appear to be gentle, tranquil ripples are, in fact, the result of countless subtle forces pulling against and balancing one another beneath the surface.

This artwork is created using Tension-Active Form, an original form-making technique in which numerous specially designed planar paper modules are transformed and assembled. Each module incorporates a predefined tension structure. Under tension, its boundaries are pulled and bent, gradually transforming the flat surface into a three-dimensional form with gentle undulations. As these modules connect along their boundaries, tension is transmitted and redistributed between them, ultimately generating a continuous, undulating surface reminiscent of water.

These modules serve not only as structural units but also as metaphors for the existence of water molecules—independent of one another, yet inseparable from the whole. To contemplate this Water Surface is, in a sense, to observe a reflection of human society. Each module resembles an individual, possessing its own form, background, and conditions of tension. Yet, as they connect and come together, they form an inseparable collective structure.

In this artwork, tension is not merely a physical means of shaping material; it points toward a deeper question: What unseen forces and underlying order shape the existence of individuals and society? Though these forces may remain invisible, it is through their continuous interplay that we become connected, and that individuals collectively form a vast blue surface of water—constantly changing, yet held together through mutual tension.

水面的起伏，源於水分子之間持續存在的張力作用。那些看似柔和、平靜的波動，實際上是內部無數微小力量相互牽引、平衡的結果。

本作品運用 Tension-Active Form 的獨創造型手法，由大量經過特別設計的平面紙模組變形並組合而成。每一個模組內部都預設了張拉結構，在張力的作用下，模組的邊界被牽引、彎曲，使原本的平面逐漸轉化為具有起伏的立體形態。當這些模組沿著邊界彼此連接時，個體之間的張力相互疊加、傳遞，最終生成了一件整體如水面般連續起伏的曲面裝置。

這些模組既是造型單元，也隱喻著水分子般的存在狀態——它們彼此獨立，卻又無法脫離整體而存在。觀看這件「水面」，彷彿在觀看人類社會的縮影：每一個模組都如同一個個體，擁有不同的形態、背景與張力條件；而當它們彼此連接、匯集在一起時，便形成了一個不可分割的整體結構。

張力在作品中並非僅作為物理手段存在，而是被用來指向一個更深層的問題：在個人與社會的存在背後，究竟隱藏著怎樣的力量與秩序？ 或許無法被直接看見，但正是這些持續作用的張力，使我們彼此關聯，使個體共同構成了一片相互牽引、不斷變化的蔚藍水面。
