What if a machine longed to fly? What would it imagine wings to be?

Transparent wings turn again and again with the gears, repeating the motion of flight like a creature that has never truly left the ground, learning to fly through imagination alone. As sunlight passes through the acrylic, fragments of light shimmer with every movement, bringing a sense of breath and life to the cold mechanical structure.

It never leaves the ground, yet it continues to rehearse the gesture of flight. Perhaps flying is not only about reaching the sky, but also about the endless desire to rise beyond where we are.

飛行模擬

如果機械也渴望飛行，它會如何想像翅膀的模樣？

透明的翅膀隨著齒輪一次次轉動，重複著振翅的動作，像是一個從未真正飛翔過的生命，僅憑想像練習著飛行。陽光穿過壓克力，在轉動之間折射出細碎而閃爍的光，使冰冷的機械結構彷彿有了呼吸與生命。

它不曾離開地面，卻始終重複著飛行的姿態。或許飛行並不只意味著抵達天空，也存在於一次次試圖離開原地的想像之中。
