On a wood-patterned floor mat, I perform the ritual of the Great Homage, with the goal of completing it 111,111 times. Each time I lower my body, I press a counter placed at the front of the mat. After each session, I record the accumulated total. As time passes, the repeated motion gradually wears away the surface, leaving pale marks—traces where the printed pattern has been rubbed off. To date, I have completed 80,791 prostrations.
In sculpture, processes are generally divided into additive and subtractive: modeling adds material, while carving removes it. This work is a subtractive sculpture. My body serves as the chisel, and the slowly accumulating friction carves my form into the surface. The Great Homage is also a method for softening pride. Through this repeated physical movement, one lays down ego and arrogance in search of truth and refuge. This is a sculpture shaped not by tools, but by spirit.
我在特定的一塊木紋組合地墊上持續做皈依大禮拜，目標是111,111遍。每做一次，就按地墊前端的計數器一下，每告一段落後，紀錄累計做過的次數。隨著時間的過去，身體逐漸將地墊磨印出白色的痕跡。目前的銘痕是80,791遍。
一般而言雕塑分成加法與減法，塑為加法，雕則是減法。這件作品是一件減法的雕塑，用身體做為鑿刀，以持續累積的摩擦力，雕刻出自身的形狀。大禮拜同時是個馴服驕慢的方便，借著身體的動作，放下自尊與驕傲，尋覓、皈依於真理之下。這是一件精神性的雕塑。
