The Paths of Walkers 行者之途

The meaning of freedom is explored again in the works, from understanding SMA to the state of patients facing their bodies, and realizing that freedom exists both on a spiritual and physical level. Despite physical limitations and pain, the feeling of freedom is generated by overcoming the pain, which results in a more comfortable travel environment. Visually, the work is influenced by medical scenes. In the work, the doctor reinterprets and conveys the changing state of life and emotion by reinterpreting the appearance of the skeleton through the X-ray image. During the exploration process, audiences can try to find the best sound and vision through sensors by using various types of materials, normal and distorted skeletons.

作品中從瞭解SMA疾病到病友面對身體的狀態，意識到自由在心靈層面與身體層面游移，自由的感受被身體限制、疼痛拉扯，但同時在克服的時刻，更加優遊自在的狀態。

SMA不只是疾病，也關乎著病友的生活、家人生活，以及社會的關係，當觀眾移動於空間中，透過感測器偵測，影像變換不同質地、型態的脊椎骨架，代表著人們不同的社會樣貌，每個人都可以在這作品中試圖尋找最佳的位置，並且包容、理解SMA的病友在社會中的狀態。

The Return Appointment 回診

When interviewing doctors who treat SMA, in addition to learning about the disease and the medical discovery process, they also gain a better understanding of current diagnosis and treatment methods, medical conditions, and, through the doctor’s observations, the emotions of the doctor, patients, and family members when dealing with the disease. A regular visit to the clinic is required for patients to confirm their current physical condition, as well as to update disease information and share their mood. In order to convey all aspects of patients’ experiences when they return to the clinic, consider the scenes of a return visit, such as the objects in the consultation room, the emotional changes, the medical perspective, etc. The concept uses pictures to illustrate all aspects of patients.

從治療SMA的醫生訪談中，除了詢問疾病與醫學發現過程，也瞭解目前診治方法、醫療現況，以及透過醫生的觀察，分享醫生自身、病友與家屬面對SMA的心情狀態，之中提及病友會需要定期回診，確認目前身體狀況，也是更新疾病資訊與心情分享的時間，從回診的情況發想一幕幕的畫面，像是診間的物件、情緒的變化、醫學視角等概念，以畫面傳達病友回診時的各個面向。
