Confronted by the helplessness and existential void of a cyclical life, Pencil Walker attempts to transcend the Pen Walking series, evolving into a personal ritual of repentance. The practitioner erects a white wooden wall and positions a video camera facing it. A pencil sharpener is affixed to his left upper arm with tape, a recording device to his right, and a microphone connected to the recorder is sealed over his mouth. He activates the video and audio recorders, sharpens a pencil with the sharpener on his arm, and then walks back and forth before the white wall, continuously drawing lines with the pencil. Simultaneously, the practitioner begins by chanting a verse of repentance from the Avataṃsaka Sūtra: "All the evil karma ever created by me / Is caused by beginningless greed, hatred, and delusion / Manifested through my body, speech, and mind / I now repent all of them." As he "pen-walks," he continuously recites mantras, the Heart Sūtra, or the names of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. This cycle of sharpening, drawing lines, and chanting is repeated continuously; each session lasts approximately two hours and fifteen minutes, performed sixty times over twenty years.

The Pen Walking series and Pencil Walker are imbued with several layers of metaphor: each pencil represents a cycle of reincarnation. The wall and paper—originally pristine and white, now darkened and soiled—symbolize the accumulated negative karma across countless past lives. Pen Walking silently surveys the totality of a lifetime's endeavors, prompting one to sigh: "No matter what, it is but thus." Pencil Walker, however, seeks to meditate before the accumulated negative karma of countless lives, posing the question: "If one pencil can represent a single human life, then what kind of life lines do I repeatedly trace in the long cycle of birth and death? Is it not the ceaseless progression of birth, aging, illness, and death? Do these hardships hold any meaning? Must I continue in this manner?"

Confronting such a life, you have not truly seen through it. You both crave and despise it; you harbor a certain self-loathing. And so, you fall silent... and your silence, is the pencil.
(originally published in the artist's monograph, 2013)

面對輪迴人生的無奈與虛無,《走鉛筆的人》試圖超越「走筆」系列,這是一個個人的懺悔儀式。行者架設一面木板白牆,面對白牆安置一組錄影機,分別用膠帶將削鉛筆機和錄音機固定在他的左上臂和右上臂,又將錄音機接出的收音麥克風封貼在嘴上。啟動錄影機、錄音機,並用臂上的削鉛筆機削尖鉛筆,在白牆前往返行走並持續地走畫鉛筆線。與此同時,行者以誦念華嚴懺悔偈:「往昔所造諸惡業,皆由無始貪嗔癡,從身語意之所生,一切我今皆懺悔。」 作為開始,邊走筆邊持咒語、心經,或誦念諸佛菩薩的名號。這個削鉛筆、走線和誦念的行動不斷重覆進行著,每次為時約二小時十五分,共執行六十次歷時二十年。
「走筆」系列與《走鉛筆的人》蘊含著一些隱喻:一枝枝的筆,代表一生生的輪迴。那面本來清靜潔白,如今黝黑污濁的紙與牆,則象徵過去生生世世累積的惡業。「走筆」沈默地全覽一生的作業,使人喟嘆:「不論再怎麼樣,也不過如此」,而《走鉛筆的人》則試圖在累生造作的惡業前冥想:「如果一枝筆,可以是一個人的一生。那麼在漫長的生死輪迴中,我重複走出的是什麼樣的人生線條?不就是不斷的生、老、病、死嗎?這些辛苦有意義嗎?還要這樣繼續下去嗎?」
面對這樣的人生,其實你並未看透。你既渴念也厭棄,你有些痛恨自己。於是,你沈默⋯,而你的沈默,就是筆。
