夜裡的海，是你看見的一道光。
The sea at night is the light you see. 

「看作是海」莊禾個展
安卓藝術 Mind Set Art Center - Project Room

「看作是海」延續莊禾2022年《看海》系列的創作概念，藝術家從夜晚凝望大海的回憶中汲取靈感。他回憶道：「當時，眼前一片深邃的黑暗佔據了視野，除了時而出現又隱去的白色線條，什麼都看不見。我們明白，那並非海的本貌，而是月光在水面上搖曳的倒影。」如此視覺經驗成了我們當下認識大海的一種途徑。動畫的創作亦同此理，莊禾選擇性地描繪出所願呈現的細節，讓這些片段轉化為觀眾得以感知和理解的媒介。

Building on the creative concept of CHUANG Ho's See the Sea series from 2022, he draws inspiration from memories of gazing at the sea at night. He recalls, "At that time, a profound darkness occupied the field of vision. Except for the occasionally appearing and disappearing white lines, nothing could be seen. We understood that it was not the true appearance of the sea but the reflection of moonlight shimmering on the water." Such a visual experience became a means for us to understand the sea in the present moment. The creation of animation follows the same principle, selectively depicting details to transform these segments into a medium perceivable and understandable by the audience.
