MERLIN CHANG
Before form, there is energy.
I have always believed that art is not merely about depicting what is seen before the eyes, but about transforming the frequencies, memories, and light felt within into forms that can be seen.
Before Form｜形之前
Before Form refers to the state before an image, object,
or landscape becomes fully visible.
It is the moment when emotion, memory, light, and imagination
are still moving beneath the surface —
not yet fixed into shape, but already alive.
In this exhibition, the works explore the invisible energy
that exists before form: the inner frequency of mountains, oceans,
light, and silence. Through color, movement, and abstraction,
the paintings reveal a world where perception
begins before physical shape appears.
