Jason Kwong transforms longing and loss into a dual-pump circulation system, staging the imagined act of calling deceased loved ones. Ink—conceived as the fluid form of ashes—moves through tubes in a continuous loop, carrying faint whispers. It holds both the virtues and transgressions embedded in personal and collective histories, allowing participants to speak into it as one would into a telephone, sharing fragments of daily life—both mundane and intimate. Within the glass tank, the ink gradually diminishes like sand in an hourglass, imposing a temporal limit that compels the speaker to update their life before it runs dry. Through this system, Kwong constructs a speculative interface for communicating with the underworld: although the realm of the dead responds only with silence, words that might otherwise remain unspoken are released through the act of participation.
鄺律銘將他的思念與失落轉化為一個雙水泵循環系統，描繪出打電話給已逝且被思念的家人和朋友的幻想。墨水，是灰燼的流動，流經管道，帶著低語。它承載著我們歷史中的善與惡，並像對電話說話一樣，分享我們的好與壞消息。玻璃缸中的墨水像沙漏中的沙子一樣減少，讓說話者能在墨水耗盡前分享他們的生活。鄺氏希望為參與者創造與冥河對話的機會，即使冥界以沉默回應，但本該說出口的話語現在因我們的參與而被釋放。
