气球以燃烧的线香作为牵引,在地面缓慢移动。烟经过气球表面,香灰落下并留下痕迹。随着线香逐渐燃烧,重量减轻,气球从地面缓慢升起,最终消失于空间之中。

Description
A balloon is tethered to a burning incense stick and slowly moves across the ground. Smoke passes over the surface of the balloon, while ash falls and leaves traces behind. As the incense gradually burns away and its weight decreases, the balloon slowly rises from the ground, eventually disappearing into the space.

一开始,气球只是被一根线香牵在地面。
线香燃烧,烟慢慢升起,灰一点点落下。气球轻轻移动,像是在寻找一个离开地面的时刻。
随着线香一点点变短,气球也一点点变轻。它从移动到上浮,从停留到离开,原本稳定的关系在燃烧中悄然发生变化。
燃烧没有让一切停止,而是让一个状态走向另一个状态。留下的是灰、烟和短暂的痕迹;离开的是气球,以及它曾经停留过的地方。

At first, the balloon is simply held to the ground by a single incense stick.
The incense burns. Smoke slowly rises, ash falls little by little. The balloon gently moves, as if searching for a moment to leave the ground.
As the incense gradually becomes shorter, the balloon becomes lighter. It moves from drifting to rising, from staying to leaving. Through the process of burning, an established relationship quietly begins to change.
Burning does not bring everything to an end. Instead, it allows one state to move into another. What remains are ash, smoke, and fleeting traces; what leaves is the balloon, along with the place where it once stayed.
