“氣泡”系列對玻璃和金屬吹管進行試驗，測試了不鏽鋼、鋁、黃銅、銅作為吹管與玻璃的反應。受退火係數、耐熱性的限制，只有銅材料可與玻璃的吹制、退火過程共存。用於吹制玻璃的銅吹管由此被保留下，也成為作品的本體。

圓管和傳遞的動作相關，內部總是流動的，充盈著不具備實形的能量。吹泡泡，是透過呼吸創造，創造出一個包裹著呼吸的魔法球。注入呼吸在神話裡是啟用生命的一個神技，吹制玻璃的過程好像用注入氣息的手法賦予一件工藝品鮮活的生命。”氣泡”保留住泡泡漂浮、破裂前還未脫離吹管的時刻，呈現非常原始的吹制狀態，再用光纖將光注入氣泡，像血管一樣，完成一整個賦予呼吸的動作。

留住泡泡有如字面意義上一般的困難，玻璃和金屬接觸，玻璃會破裂，金屬被反噬融化。一度在想是否不該為了一個浪漫的想法去違揹他們不相容的物理特性。所幸找到唯一可共存的材料紫銅，驚喜與在高溫下它變色成美麗的鮮紅色，像從銅管中滲透出的血、被玻璃放大，這個材料所導向的唯一秘密結果，可能應驗赫拉克利特那句箴言“自然愛隱藏”，自然總是喜歡隱藏它自己。

“Bubble” experiments with glass and metal tubes， testing stainless steel， aluminum， brass and copper functioning as glass blowpipes。 With limits of annealing coefficient and heat resistance， copper is the only one to survive during the blowing and annealing process。 The copper blowpipe is thus preserved and itself becomes part of the work。

Pipe in nature is associated with the action of transfer， always flowing inside， filled with energy that does not have a solid shape。 Blowing bubbles is a creative activity by breathing。 It creates a magic orb and encapsulation of breath。 Breathing in mythology is a magic technique to activate life while blowing glass is breathing in to bring a piece of art to life。 “Bubble” retains the moment before bubbles float and burst， presenting the primitive blowing state。 Light is then injected into them through optical fibers， like blood vessels， in completion of the entire breathing process。

It’s tough to preserve bubbles’ timid life in all senses。 Metal breaks the glass， glass melts metal。 I doubted if I should not be contrary to the physical nature of the materials。 Surprisingly， the only suitable material I found， copper， can change color at high temperatures into a beautiful bright red， like blood permeating through copper， magnified by the glass。 The only result that material leads to may fulfill the aphorism of Heraclitus， “phusis kruptesthai philei”。 The secrets of nature tend to hide。
