空² [Kōng]² 如果"空"是一個單位，它要量度的會是甚麼？
「空」 可以是天空;
「空」 或許是空氣;
「空」 看似是空間;
「空」 也許是自由;
「空」 可能是病徵;
「空」 其實甚麼也不是?
When/If Chinese character "空" [Kōng] is used as a unit, what structure would it quantify? What material/immaterial substance would it evaluate?
"空" could be sky;
"空" could be air;
"空" could be space;
"空" could be free;
"空" could be symptoms;
"空" could be nothing at all?

人類習慣將事物數理化，自然界內不論物質或非物質都會被量度和計算，隨以單位命名；然而人總愛在無限中製造有限，又復在有限之名後追尋無限。漸漸，單位為實，事物成虛。當/如果"空"是一個單位，它要量度的會是甚麼？
天空無垠, 城市生活卻被局限於密密麻麻的建築「單位」下。大廈跟詩意盎然的天空遙遙相 對，象徵著現實與夢想之間的落差。自古人類為了生存建造屋宇聚居，謂之城市。時移世易，現代都市卻在膨脹中不斷操控人類，佔領自然。對社會而言，城市發展也許是「文明進步」；對生命而言，它卻像無聲的病毒 ; 對自然而言,它可是一種絕症，悄悄蔓延。當生活只有意識的藩籬、約定俗成的標準，在營營役役的計算下 ,人生又是甚麼？
Humans have always attempted to apply mathematical logic to quantify the structure of material and immaterial substance with units of measurement. The desire to transpose limits within the infinite world and at the same time, seek limitless within these defined limitations still remains ambiguous. When/If Chinese character "空" [Kōng] is used as a unit, what structure would it quantify? What material/immaterial substance would it evaluate?
Since ancient times, cities have been developed to improve the quality of lives. In modern phenomenon, the lives of humanity have been compromised by the development of cities as it continues to destroy the natural environment. Building of cities might be one of man's greatest achievements; ironically, this achievement is detrimental to many co-existing in the world.
