海草仰賴空氣漂浮於海中，而人類在陸地上呼吸著同樣的空氣。當我在海岸邊漫步，思索此地的創作時，發現寒冷的冬季裡，沙灘上遍佈著被海浪沖刷上岸的海草。它們成為我在此創作最適切的材料，承載著冰島獨有的時節與性格。
在大雪覆蓋的海岸，我收集這些海草，並在加爾澤的舊燈塔中，將它們轉化為一件順著塔樓生長的抽象雕塑。其形態如同海草的氣室，又彷彿蠟燭的燈芯，在垂直的空間中緩緩向上延展。
完成燈塔內的作品後，我走向海灘，親手開出一條通往海洋的道路。行走其間，遙想維京人曾在此發現新大陸、踏上未知航程的歷史。在這個冰與火交織的國度裡，這裡既像是路的盡頭，也同時成為另一條新路徑的起始點。 Title: Air Path

Seaweed relies on air to float within the ocean, while humans breathe the same air on land.
As I walked along the coastline, contemplating the work to be created here, I noticed that in the cold of winter, the beach was covered with seaweed washed ashore by the waves. These seaweeds became the most fitting material for this work, carrying within them the season and character of Iceland.
Along the snow-covered shore, I gathered the seaweed and transformed it inside the old lighthouse at Gardur city into an abstract sculpture that grows along the interior of the tower. Its form echoes the air bladders of seaweed and also resembles the wick of a candle, slowly extending upward through the vertical space.
After completing the work inside the lighthouse, I walked back toward the beach and opened a path leading to the sea. As I moved forward, I reflected on the history of the Vikings discovering new lands and setting out toward unknown worlds. In this land of ice and fire, this place feels both like the end of a road and the beginning of a new path.
