〈金蘋果〉中的這顆金蘋果,可能是從希臘神話中、善於惡作劇的女神厄里斯那裏借來的,它在神話故事中是爭端與戰爭的起因,象徵著虛榮。
也可能,是伊甸園中的禁果。
再或者,是在東亞文化中的吉祥象徵:智慧之果、平安之果、喜慶之果、健康之果、美麗之果、和諧之果、團圓之果、紅色之果。
一顆平凡的蘋果,從伊甸園誕生,一路跟隨著人們內在的慾望,長出不同的樣子。
The golden apple in this sculpture may refer to the apple borrowed from the mischievous Greek goddess Eris, which in the myth is a source of war and strife, symbolizing vanity.
Or maybe, it could be the forbidden apple from the Garden of Eden.
Or even, it could be the auspicious symbol that it is in East Asian culture: “The Fruit of Wisdom”, “The Fruit of Safety”, “The Fruit of Celebration”, “The Fruit of Health”, “The Fruit of Beauty”, “The Fruit of Harmony”, “The Fruit of Reunion”, “The Red Fruit”.
An ordinary apple, born in the Garden of Eden, takes on all the different shapes of humanity’s deepest desires.
