Mountain on the Ridge of your Hand

手脊上的山脉

This is a kinetic sculpture using 4 linear actuators to create the ridge of a mountain. When people come to the installation, it can sense the ridge of their knuckles, and therefore a mountain of their own would be formed.

Our firmness and gentleness can be told with clenched fists and open palms. In this way, the ridge of the hand can fluctuate hard or smoothly. Everybody has a mountain of their own movements. These can shape a mountain of human character.

Humans can be firm and gentle, and so can a mountain to be hard and soft. I want to metaphor a human being as a mountain. My character is in this mountain, and this mountain is me.

这个动态雕塑用了四个推杆电机，创造山脊的轮廓。人们手脊上的轮廓会被感知，从而看见自己手脊上的山脉。

我喜欢动态呈现同样物体的两种特性。紧握拳头，摊开手掌，坚定，释然，我们手背脊的线条都会随之浮动。一个随手脊浮动变化的山脉。在这个比喻里，人会更加感受到自己与远方的山的连结。
