影像投射於整面牆壁,並透過地板上的鏡子反射延伸到地面上,觀眾有如置身於虛擬動畫影片的情境中,參與了另一個時空之旅。影片分為三部曲:啟靈篇、越野篇、再生篇,描述宇宙中生靈蛻化的過程。對陳珠櫻而言,萬物俱存,不過是「能」的轉換與體現,而生命的歷程正訴說著它的變化。透過電腦程式設計, 陳珠櫻所創作的電腦立體行為式動畫,呈現生命由發生到消滅的旅程,色調由冷到熱,從清澈的藍綠到熾烈的火紅。當人生染盡這些色彩,有如在調色盤攪混得出的是「灰」;當生命的火力燃盡,餘溫消卻,留下的亦是一攤「灰」;而「灰燼」象徵「來自塵土,復歸於塵土」的永恆循環。作品的名稱,正補訴著畫面上看不到的生命的背影及其潛在的意識。

The images are projected onto the whole wall and extended to the grounds with reflections from the mirrors on the floor.The viewers, placed into the scenario of a virtual animation film, embark on a journey into another time and space. Thisfilm is a trilogy (Enlightenment, Wilderness and Rebirth) that tells the story of evolutions and metamorphosis of livesin the universe. For Chu-Yin Chen, all the objects in the universe are the transitions and manifestations of energies. Theprocess of life is a process of its changes. With designs of computer programs, Chu-Yin Chen creates a 3-D computerizedanimations packed with actions, to present the journey of happening to destruction of life. The tones of colours gofrom cold to warm, from crystal blue and green to heated fire and red. When dyed with these colours, our lives arelike the greyness mixed and stirred on the palette. Once the fire of life goes down and remaining heat is no longer, it isanother tray of greyness. Greyness symbolizes the eternal cycles of “earth-to-earth, dust-to-dust”. The name of the workis complementary description of shadows of life and its hidden conscious not shown in the picture.
