《#遠守》是《#餘白計劃》的第五幅作品，延續「#減法構圖」與「#視覺餘白」的核心語彙，透過極簡的形式與大量未填滿的空間，構築出一種沉默中的凝視關係。

畫面中的三個元素——懸崖上的車輛、遠處的燈塔與包覆其間的空氣與海洋——共同構成一種低強度的劇場結構：它們彼此獨立，卻在觀看中被繫於同一條時間線上。車輛的駐足像是剛抵達，也像即將離去；燈塔既是目標也是遺忘之物。它們不對話，但彼此成為存在的背景。

這幅作品思考「#距離」與「#守望」之間的心理張力：人與人之間、存在與記憶之間、觀看與被觀看之間，是否可能存在一種不需言語的共感？這些被保留的空間不是空無，而是一種等待觀者投入自身情緒與經驗的場域。

《遠守》邀請觀看者在視覺的靜止中進行一場內在的流動。它不是一個風景的再現，而是一種被觀看者激活的情境，一種凝視自身存在狀態的方式。

The Distant Keep is the fifth painting in The White Space Project, continuing the series’ use of reductive composition and spatial minimalism to explore emotional presence through visual absence.

The image consists of three main components—a vehicle halted atop a cliff, a solitary lighthouse in the sea, and the vast blankness of sky and ocean that binds them. These elements, though unconnected in action, form a subtle theatrical tension within the viewer’s gaze. The car suggests both arrival and departure; the lighthouse stands as a beacon, or perhaps a forgotten monument. They do not speak to each other, but they coexist in a quiet relational field.

This work reflects on the psychological tension between distance and witnessing. It asks: Can connection exist without proximity? Can meaning emerge in the space between observation and emotion?

Here, emptiness is not a lack, but a charged field—an invitation for the viewer to project their own rhythm, memory, and narrative.

The Distant Keep does not aim to describe a place, but to offer a space where stillness becomes movement, and the act of looking becomes a way of understanding where, or who, we are.
