「普羅米修斯從諸神那裡偷取了火，送給人類，為此他受到永恆的懲罰。」奧本海默電影中用這段神話形容我們的時代，這成為我創作的靈感。火象徵進步與創造力等等，但在一味追求效率的時代裡，火焰也可能轉化為毀滅。我以《進步的火焰，時間的灰燼》為主題，透過沙漏輪廓和皮革材質，表現時間的流逝與不可逆的特性，並探索進步與其代價之間的拉扯。設計中火與灰的對比，傳達了進步及毀滅的矛盾：進步是禮物，也可能是詛咒。我結合傳統工藝與現代技術，表達理性與情感、過去與未來之間的衝突與平衡。我希望這不只是一件作品，而是想去讓大家去思考：在這個快速變化的時代，我們是否該慢下來，真實面對地思考永續的真正意義？ Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity, for which he was condemned to eternal punishment. This myth, referenced in the film Oppenheimer, serves as the inspiration for my creation. Fire represents progress, creativity, and the spark of innovation,but in an era that relentlessly pursues efficiency, that same flame can also become a force of destruction.Under the theme The Flame of Progress, the Ashes of Time, I use the silhouette of an hourglass and the texture of leather to symbolize the passage and irreversibility of time, while exploring the tension between advancement and its cost. The contrast between fire and ash within the design expresses the paradox of progress: it is a gift, but it may also be a curse. By merging traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, I aim to convey the conflict and balance between reason and emotion, past and future. This work is more than just a piece of design,it is a call to reflection: in this rapidly changing age, should we not slow down and sincerely confront the true meaning of sustainability?
