《呼吸的共鸣》是一件探索人类生存与太阳之间原始联系的互动声音装置。作品灵感源于一次关于太阳作为生命源头的冥想体验，旨在超越人类语言的局限，构建观众与自然之间的一种非语言对话。

本作品立足于“去人类中心主义”以及爱德华多·科恩（Eduardo Kohn）《森林如何思考》的人类学框架，挑战了个体存在的边界。装置利用 TouchDesigner 和 Arduino 捕捉观众的距离与呼吸，将生物节律转化为视听反馈。当观众呼吸时，他们的声音将与他人留下的呼吸声产生共鸣——形成一首跨越时空的合唱。

在与奥拉维尔·埃利亚松（Ólafur Elíasson）和托马斯·萨拉切诺（Tomás Saraceno）的美学对话中，本作品将一种个人的直觉转化为集体的仪式。它邀请我们重新审视与宇宙的共生关系，架起科学探索与哲学内省之间的桥梁。

 "Resonance of Breath" is an interactive sound installation that explores the primordial connection between human existence and the sun. Inspired by a meditative realization of the sun as the ultimate source of life, the work transcends the limitations of human language to construct a non-verbal dialogue between the viewer and nature.

Grounded in de-anthropocentrism and the anthropological framework of Eduardo Kohn’s How Forests Think, the piece challenges the boundaries of individual existence. Using TouchDesigner and Arduino, the installation captures the viewer’s distance and breath, converting biological rhythms into auditory and visual feedback. As the viewer breathes, their sound resonates with the recorded breaths of others—a chorus across time and space.

Drawing aesthetic dialogues with Ólafur Elíasson and Tomás Saraceno, this work transforms a personal intuition into a collective ritual. It invites us to reconsider our symbiotic relationship with the cosmos, bridging the gap between scientific inquiry and philosophical introspection.
