作品灵感来自于21克的灵魂理论——Duncan医生测量了几位濒死的病人在死亡的刹那，身体都轻了21克，因此推断出这是灵魂的重量。
诚然灵魂本与科学无关，我以为这 21 克的灵魂试验更像一次极具想象力的行为艺术，启迪我们去感受、揣测、 思考物质以外的世界。
和肉身相比，21 克的灵魂轻的微不足道;但 21 并不是没有重量，当你将21克的东西扔出去，它仍然会沉沉地落到地上。 我的作品便是对这又轻又重的 21 克作进一步的诠释。每一件作品重21克，刚好能与气球形成平衡，悬浮在空间中缓缓游荡，它既无法飞上天堂，也不至坠入地狱，而是不轻不重地恰好停留在那里，也许就像我们的灵魂暂居在人间。
This work is inspired by Dr. Duncan MacDougall’s 21 Gram Theory. He conducted an experiment that he claimed the weight of soul is 21 grams: a patient was 21 grams lighter at the moment of death. Undoubtedly ,soul has nothing to do with science essentially. The 21 Gram Theory is more like an imaginative performance art that enlightens us to feel the world beyond material.
Have you ever felt of the weight of 21 grams seriously？Compared to the weight of body, 21 grams of soul is much lighter. However, 21-gram weight is not weightless. It will fall heavily onto the ground as well. My work is a further interpretation of this weight of 21 grams, which is both light and heavy.
Each piece of the brooch is 21 grams which is just balanced with a balloon. Thus the floating device is wandering slowly，that is neither too light to fly up to the sky nor too heavy to fall into the ground. It is like our soul dwelling on earth for a while.
