遺照是濃縮了一個人生命終章的印記，而姓氏是作為血緣脈絡的符號。
我收集了二十五張與我姓氏相同的陌生人遺照，然後把這二十五張相片，以軟件等比例的透明度將其重疊，使每個圖像的五官在層疊中稀釋，並形成了一張新面孔。
它承載著所有，但不屬於任何。

燃燒紙製品的行為自古以來是對另一世界輸送的方式，承載人類對死亡存在的想像與信仰；而人工智能是人類迄今高文明的產物象徵。
我透過人工智能生成出二十五幅具超真實性的面孔，它們雖然未曾存在於現實，卻在視覺層面上建構出難以辨偽的肉身表徵。我將它們的數位面容列印到紙上，然後進行儀式性的焚毀，紙張最終燃燒為灰燼。
它們本無生命，經過燃燒，獲得另一種形式的生。
方生方死，方死方生
事物自生之時，同時也開始慢慢走向消亡。
而事物在消亡時，同時也意味着生的開端。
Dying Into Being I
A posthumous portrait is the condensed imprint of life’s final chapter, while a surname serves as the signifier of bloodline lineage.
I collected twenty-five posthumous photographs of strangers sharing my surname. These images were then digitally overlaid using graphic software, with equal transparency increments, causing each face’s features to dissipate through stratification, ultimately coalescing into one new face.
It bears all, yet belongs to none.
Dying Into Being II
The act of burning paper artifacts has since antiquity functioned as a delivery conduit to other realms, bearing humanity's imagination of and faith in death-bound existence; while artificial intelligence stands as the emblematic apex of human civilization.
I generated twenty-five hyperreal Chinese faces through AI, though never having existed in reality, they construct fleshly representations visually indistinguishable from truth.
Through a printer, I translated their digital visages onto paper, then performed a ritual burning, reducing the sheets to ash.
Though they originally possessed no life, they gained another form of existence through burning.
