金剛經爲大乘佛教經典,由鳩摩羅什法師翻譯,傳入中土,現為我將文本轉化為聲音,最後成為打印塑料浮雕。這是佛教思想翻譯的翻譯,由信徒的傳播變成視覺的中性物件,聲音被固態化,成為類似碳狀的紋理。碳,是地球萬物構成的根本。

(translated)
The Diamond Sutra is a Mahayana Buddhist scripture, translated by Kumārajīva and introduced into China. I am converting the text into sound, then transforming the sound into a 3D-printed plastic relief. This work is a translation of a translated Buddhist text in other words, changing the dissemination via followers has been remodelled into a neutral visual object. The sound is solidified, condensed into carbon-lattice structure. While carbon is the basis of all structures on this earth.
