A series of three sculptures, Still (2025) are ant hill-like forms that each comprise an array of ticking clock hands. From afar, the movement of the hands looks as if ongoing activity in an ant colony, which operates perpetually and in monotony with no regards to the days and time passed. Imagining existence from the perspective of an animal, the artist reconsiders the notion of time as man-made construct irrelevant to other beings – wherein only the present can be perceived by inherent senses, and thus neither the past nor future exists under the context of empirical reality. By removing the clock dials, Wong also structures time as an infinite loop within the artwork, in which one’s sensory experiences serve as the only universal measuring unit.
《Still》（2025）是由三件雕塑組成的系列作品，形狀如蟻丘般，由一列列轉動 的時鐘指針組成。從遠處看，指針的律動猶如蟻群中持續的活動，它全然無視日子和 時間的流逝，永恆而單調地運作著。藝術家從動物的視角想像存在，重新思考時間此 一人造概念對其他生物而言的無關性——在這裡，只有當下可被固有感官所感知，因 此，在這經驗實相的範圍內，過去與未來皆不存在。通過移除時鐘的刻度盤，黃將時 間結構化為無限循環，其中，個人的感官體驗成為唯一通用的測量單位。
