(Work in progress) Project: Blank Film is a more intimate body of work. It begins with the sudden death of a close friend and a roll of film he left behind—exposed, yet entirely undeveloped. Four years after the incident, the ongoing process of making and exhibiting becomes a way to respond to and reflect upon death, memory, and emotion: memories that are at times continuous, at times piercingly vivid, at times suspended in a haze. Through this project, I also question time itself—what is lost after death, and what, if anything, remains. At the end of 2021, a close friend passed away unexpectedly on a sports field. Ten days after the incident, I was conscripted into military service, forced into an abrupt withdrawal from overwhelming grief. The night before his death, he handed me a roll of film he had just finished shooting. When I later developed it, the roll turned out to be entirely blank. Through conversations and shared memories with those close to him, I began to reassemble the days surrounding the end of 2021, attempting to return to this roll of film. I find myself repeatedly asking: what does death leave behind? A memory, an emotional bond to a person—and if there is no tangible object, no material trace, no image left behind, does it eventually fade into forgetting?

（發展中作品） 《白片計畫》為較具私密性的創作計畫，內容以年輕好友的突然死亡與其所留下的一捲「已拍過卻毫無顯影」的底片出發，在事件發生後四年的現在，透過進行中的創作與展覽計劃去回應與探討死亡、記憶與情感，那種時而連續、時而深刻、時而恍惚的記憶，同時探問著時間以及死亡後所失去與所留下的。 2021年末，一個摯友意外在球場上過世，事發後10天我就入伍了，被迫抽離巨大的情緒之中。 在他離世之前一晚，他交給了我一卷剛拍好的底片，後來我沖洗出來，是一卷白片，透過和他周遭親友的對話、回憶，重新梳理2021年末的的這段日子，嘗試重返這卷底片，我總在想，死亡後所留下的是什麼？一段回憶及對一個人的情感，如果沒有了實體的物質或是留下影像，是不是就會被遺忘？
