The inspiration for the artwork stems from the artist's personal exploration of Chiayi's Alishan, traversing the hiking trail from the crossroads towards the “Toe'uana”. The winding path follows the railway, with tar-covered sturdy sleepers and scattered gravel on the ground guiding our direction. The route cuts through rich, untouched mountain forests, presenting a unique landscape and materials shaped by natural processes. Along the way, neatly stacked sleepers are visible, and the gaps between them bear traces of various animals, plants, soil, and stones. Sunlight spills into these spaces, and life undergoes continuous changes within these tiny crevices. Each gap seems to capture different dimensions of time and space, embracing the cyclical nature of all life from ancient to present. Water, molecules, cells, fungi, seeds, eggs, rocks, dust, and planets orbit around us, intertwining and accumulating. In this moment, we breathe in rhythm, stride with determination, traverse through time and space, drawing a path in the fleeting moments of countless years.

作品的靈感源自於藝術家親身探訪嘉義阿里山，從十字路通往德恩亞納的健行路徑。整條路徑蜿蜒，沿著鐵道前行，焦油覆蓋的粗大枕木和地面上散落的礫石為我們指引了方向。路徑穿越豐富的原始山林，呈現自然生成的獨特風景和物質。沿途，能看見整齊堆放的枕木，而枕木之間的空隙留下了許多動物、植物、土壤和石塊的痕跡。陽光灑落其中，生命在這些微小的隙縫中持續變化，一道道隙縫彷彿擷取了不同時空，包容古往今來萬物生命的交替循環。水、分子、細胞、黴菌、種子、卵、石、塵埃和星球在我們四周環繞運行，彼此交織，相互積累。此刻，我們循著節奏呼吸，奮力跨步，穿越時空前行，在億萬年的短暫光陰中，劃出一道軌跡。
