為你奉茶

台灣早期社會，在路旁、樹下或廟前，免費提供茶水給路人飲用，濃濃的人情味，稱為「奉茶」。「為你奉茶」挪用「奉茶」原話的台灣習俗，融入佛教的「中陰身」和元宇宙概念，創造性轉化成與記憶連結的雲宇宙，向生命中重要的人奉茶。

In early Taiwanese society, tea was freely offered to passersby on roadsides, under trees, or in front of temples, embodying a deep sense of hospitality known as “Offering Tea.” "Offering Tea for You" reinterprets this traditional practice, blending it with the Buddhist concept of the "intermediate state" and elements of the metaverse. This work creatively transforms into a "cloud universe" of memory, offering tea to significant figures in one’s life.

從雲水茶桌、手繪青花的雲宇宙茶席到錄像堆疊出多維空間的想像，引領穿越山林、海邊以及時間，為內心最思念的那個人，奉上一杯真誠的茶湯。

From a Cloud-Water Tea Table and a Hand-painted Blue and White Cloud Universe Tea Setting to video projections that layer multiple dimensions, this piece invites viewers to traverse mountains, seas, and time, presenting a heartfelt cup of tea to the person they miss the mos

觀眾彷彿走進科幻小說，第一層的〈雲宇宙茶席〉展示為你奉茶實境，觀眾手機掃描QRCode，同步連結〈雲宇宙茶席VR〉。第二層的〈宇宙漂浮的信〉不僅是文本，又是前方〈雲宇宙茶席〉的掛軸，茶會精神所在，同時是後方當代水墨作品的題識，抒寫畫外之境。第三層的當代水墨畫面上的多層次噴墨網絡、花青暈染和流淌性線條是水墨特有的內省式語彙，思索非線性時間，追溯記憶的可信和不可信，悲劇的創傷和昇華，作夢能力的有限和無限性。

Stepping into this experience feels like entering a science fiction narrative. The first layer, Cloud Universe Tea Setting, showcases a physical tea gathering installation, where viewers can scan a QR code to connect with the Cloud Universe Tea Setting VR on their mobile devices. The second layer, Floating Letters of the Universe, serves as both text and a hanging scroll for the Cloud Universe Tea Setting in front, embodying the spirit of the tea gathering. It also functions as an inscription for the contemporary ink work behind it, poetically conveying scenes beyond the painting. The third layer features contemporary ink art, where the intricate sprayed ink networks, indigo washes, and flowing lines unique to ink art convey an introspective language. This layer contemplates non-linear time, exploring the reliability and unreliability of memory, the trauma and transcendence of tragedy, and the limitations and infiniteness of the dream world.

為你奉茶文本

阿嬤：

最近好嗎？第一次為你奉茶，我欣喜若狂。

以前你和鄰居玩四色牌，我總是在旁邊湊熱鬧，那是你難得的輕鬆時光。

有時候，我不想洗碗洗菜，只想和同學出去玩。你總是說像你這麼老，還在工作，小孩子當然也要幫忙。但是，只要我好好讀書，以後可以做自己想做的事。

那時我不懂，等到國中二年級，你再也不會坐在店門口等我放學，永遠離開，最後特別交代要把你的私房錢都給我，想到你一輩子那麼艱難，我很感動，那一刻，我突然懂得你的想法。

從那天開始，我一直跑一直跑，跑到全世界，什麼也不怕，你傳給我的力量，就算要移山倒海，我也會做到。

我做了很多想做的事，只有一件做不到－那就是好好報答你。

喝茶是我生活中的美好時光，就像你玩四色牌，為你奉茶，是我連想都不敢想的心願，

你聞一下，這是朋友送的私房茶，聞起來有股特殊香氣，他知道我喝過不少好茶，特地送的。還有，我大學時愛上故宮瓷器，後來遍訪世界名瓷，千里迢迢收了不少回來。這幾年認真在做夢寐以求的瓷，這套雲宇宙茶組是特別為你奉茶做的。

水滾了，奉上熱呼呼的茶，你慢慢喝，喝茶，是喝一個口味，茶很香，看你的眼睛清亮，就像風箏飛上天。

半輩子泡茶，今天最爽快，阿嬤，很高興為你奉茶，我很好，你不用擔心。

Serving Tea to You

Dear Grandma,

How have you been lately? This is the first time I’m offering you tea, and I’m overjoyed.

I remember when you used to play Mahjong with the neighbors, and I would always hang around, joining the fun. Those were your rare moments of relaxation.

Sometimes, I didn’t want to wash the dishes or help in the kitchen; I just wanted to go out and play with my friends. You always said that even at your age, you still worked hard, so of course, the children needed to help too. But you would add, "As long as you study well, one day you’ll be able to do whatever you want."

Back then, I didn’t understand. It wasn’t until the second year of middle school, when you were no longer there waiting at the store for me after school, that I realized what you meant. Before you left forever, you made sure that all your savings were given to me. Thinking about the hardships you endured all your life touched me deeply. In that moment, I suddenly understood your perspective.

From that day, I kept running and running—around the world, fearless. The strength you passed on to me feels like I could move mountains if I needed to.

I’ve accomplished many things I wanted to do, but there’s one thing I couldn’t do—repay you properly.

Tea has become a cherished part of my life, just like those Mahjong games you enjoyed. Offering tea for you is a dream I never dared to imagine.

Take a whiff—this is a special tea gifted by a friend. It has a unique aroma, chosen because he knows I’ve tasted a lot of good tea. And there’s more: back in college, I fell in love with ancient ceramics from the National Palace Museum. Over the years, I traveled far and wide to collect fine ceramics from around the world. Lately, I’ve been crafting my dream ceramics, and this Cloud Universe Tea Set was made just for you.

The water has boiled; here’s a steaming cup of tea, just for you. Drink it slowly. Drinking tea is about savoring its flavor. The tea is fragrant, and your eyes look bright, like a kite soaring high in the sky.

After a lifetime of brewing tea, today feels the most fulfilling. Grandma, I’m so glad to be offering tea for you. I’m doing well, so please don’t worry about me.
