"Do you understand now that you must not offer
The sacred holocaust of your first roses
To the violent breaths that could wither them?"
Charles Baudelaire

In a clinical, spotlighted darkness, artist WONG Wai-yim explores the erosion of the self through the fragility of glass and the silence of the body. Two nude figures sit side-by-side, yet inhabit separate worlds of isolation.

Adorned with glass anatomical fragments—vagina, mouth, eye, ear, nipple, and toe—the performers enact a ritual of failed connection.

One attempts to "murmur" from her core, yet remains voiceless; the other performs the gesture of listening while remaining tethered only to her own tactile sensations.

Murmur is a critique of existence under the quiet pressure of power. It depicts a reality where life appears safe and banal, yet the fundamental human capacities to speak and to be heard have been extinguished. In this space, the mouth is sealed, the ear is indifferent, and the voice has disappeared.


「你如今是否明白，不可將你初綻玫瑰的神聖祭獻，
奉予那些足以使之枯萎的狂暴氣息？」
——夏爾・波德萊爾

場景佈置：暗房，如呼吸般的背景音樂。燈光照射著兩個全裸的女人，全身塗滿白色。身上放上六件玻璃作品，一張白沙發，四個白色坐墊。

兩個裸體的女人並排坐在白色沙發上。六件玻璃作品放在她們身體各部位。分別是：陰道，嘴巴，腳趾，耳朵，乳頭，眼睛。

嘴巴塞著玻璃的女人在喃喃自語，卻發不出聲音。另一個女人的耳朵戴著一件形狀奇特的東西，像在聽第一位女人的說話，左眼被蓋上一塊尖銳的物件，只能單眼斜視對方。

在這作品中，一個想說話但嘴巴卻被封住。另一個像在聽卻無視對方的存在。

《私語》是一種對權力靜默壓力下存在狀態的批判。作品描繪了一種看似安全、平庸的現實——然而人最基本的能力：說話與被聆聽，早已被抽離。在這個空間裡，口被封閉，耳失去回應，聲音消散無存。
