Description
Some mountains exist on the surface of the earth.
While some mountains,
are hidden within mountains.
---
The starting point of this work comes from the ghost phantom inside the crystal.
Between transparency and opacity, layers upon layers of stacked terrain can be seen.
As if ancient mountains were sealed within the crystal.
Not one mountain.
But many mountains.
---
Thus, one begins to ponder:
What if landforms don't only exist externally?
What if the formation of a mountain,
is itself the result of countless layers?
---
"Layering" continues the structural language found within minerals.
The base is made of bluestone to provide support.
Following the direction of the internal mountain ranges within the crystal, the stratification originally sealed within the mineral is extended outwards.
It's not about recreating a mountain.
But rather allowing the internal time of the mineral to manifest itself once again.
The crystal and the base are not deliberately fused completely.
Instead, a clear and visible connection is preserved at the point where they meet.
This is not a trace of construction.
But rather a part of the artwork.
"Layering" does not discuss natural landscapes themselves.
But rather the process of landform formation.
Therefore, the connections are not hidden.
Instead, their existence is deliberately preserved.
Like the interfaces between strata.
Like the traces left when dikes cut through country rock.
And like the stratification accumulated in a mountain over different ages.
When viewed from a distance.
It is a complete landscape.
When viewed up close.
One can see the boundaries where different materials meet.
Because layering does not eliminate differences.
But rather forms new structures within those differences.
---
This is also the second piece in the B01 "Conceptual Language" series.
If "Continuation" discusses the extension of landforms.
Then "Layering" discusses,
how landforms are formed.

Care
天然水晶歷經漫長的地質形成，每件作品皆擁有獨一無二的紋理與結構。
為了讓作品長久陪伴您，建議：
- 避免碰撞、摔落或強烈擠壓。
- 避免長時間接觸酸、鹼性清潔劑及化學溶劑。
- 可使用柔軟乾布輕拭灰塵，保持晶體與底座潔淨。
- 請避免長時間置於潮濕、高溫或陽光直射環境。
- 搬動作品時，請以雙手托住底座與晶體，避免僅提拿晶體。
DIYU 的作品皆以天然水晶與手工底座製作，每件作品在紋理、色澤、礦缺與手作細節上皆略有不同，這些都是作品的一部分，也是時間留下的痕跡。
Design
每一顆水晶都擁有自己的地景。
DIYU 不改造自然，而是為它創造一個可以繼續存在的地方。
每一個底座都依循晶體本身的形態設計，延續它的方向、平衡與存在感，同時保留可獨立取下欣賞的可能。
每件作品皆為獨一無二，只完成一次。
