作品是關於生日第三個願望的沈默時刻。
對我來說，生日願望在過去的記憶中總是缺席的，但對未來而言卻是不斷浮現的。這第三個願望的沈默則包納了過去與未來、說與不說、自己與他人的一種想像空間。
作品裝置為自製的打孔紙帶音樂盒，並在音樂盒中置入光源，使光線可以透過孔洞在展覽空間中呈現出像泡泡一樣的光圈。其中因為要足夠大的孔洞才能觸發音樂盒的聲音機制，所以我在紙帶上也打上了許多更小的孔洞，形成一些不能發出聲音，卻可以透出光圈的效果。而能發出聲音的部分，則是將生日快樂歌的旋律打散。參與者聽到聲音的同時，也感覺到許多空白，如第三個願望沈默的部分。

The artwork revolves around the silent moment of a third birthday wish.
For me, birthday wishes have always been absent in my memories of the past but continuously emerge in thoughts of the future. The silence of this third wish encompasses an imaginative space that includes both past and future, saying and not saying, and the self and others.
The installation features a homemade paper roll music box with a light source inserted inside. This setup allows light to shine through the holes in the paper, creating halo-like circles of light in the exhibition space. Because larger holes are necessary to trigger the music box mechanism, I have also punctured the paper with numerous smaller holes that do not produce sound but do allow light to filter through, creating a visual effect resembling bubbles. The sections of the paper strip that can produce sound are fragmented melodies of the “Happy Birthday” song. Participants not only hear the sound but also perceive many blanks, akin to the silence of the third wish.
