"Pursuing the light ahead-into Paul Chiang" draws inspiration from renowned artist Paul Chiang’s iconic works -"Notre Dame de Paris", "For Hundred Year Temple", "Pisilian" and "Silver Lake" , blending sound, visuals, music, and dance to convey his deep interpretation of light. This journey invites reflection on nature, life’s essence and a pursuit of humanistic care.

The project draws inspiration from the sculptural works of artist Paul Chiang. Breaking away from traditional static stage design, this setup allows for the disassembly and reassembly of stage elements, transforming them into projection surfaces for a multi-layered, dynamic space. Performers, dancers, and musicians can move freely within, flowing like musical notes. This design captures the interplay of space and time, as if each moment occurs within a shared reality of "music and visuals." The result is an immersive spatial experience showcasing extraordinary light and shadow effects. The project embodies Paul Chiang's vision: "All my works attempt to extend outward," bringing to life his multi-layered spatial dynamism and sense of boundless continuity.

At the end, an emptiness, silence. the stage evokes a vast, pure landscape, embodying Chiang’s philosophy: art is a form of purification, a reflection of nature, emptiness, and a sanctuary for the soul.
