The temple begins with a wire.
The wire becomes a root.
The root whispers in broken pixels.

A child is born —
but it is not human,
its mouth is a fish, its skin a leaf,
its cry already a prayer.

The goddess looks into the mirror.
The mirror answers with static.
Her body folds into cooling water,
her face splits into ten anxious eyes.

A seal of power crumbles.
From its fragments emerge two judges:
one pale as paper ash,
one black as charred code.
They laugh without mouths.

The general sharpens his blade.
It is made of servers.
Every swing cuts a continent of data.
The smoke smells like heat,
not incense.

Hands multiply.
Faces fracture.
Children of moss crawl across the altar.
Each one carries an insect’s wing,
each one carries an unfinished algorithm.

The gods do not answer.
They flicker.
They reboot.
They begin again from the crack.

水觀瀾娘
Guanyin – Gaze and Anxiety

Crystalline, fragile, her surface shines like glass but cuts like a shard.

This Guanyin embodies the female body under constant gaze, a site of beauty and expectation that becomes anxiety and burden.

Her divinity is a mirror of societal pressure.

結晶般剔透、脆弱，祂的表面如玻璃般閃耀，卻如碎片般銳利。
這尊「水觀瀾娘」體現了在永無止境的社會凝視下，
女性身體如何淪為美麗與期盼的戰場，並最終異化為無處不在的焦慮與重擔。
祂的神聖性，不過是社會集體壓力的鏡像。

碎吒郎
Nezha – Masculinity in Fragments

Traditionally a youthful warrior, here Nezha’s body is patched from broken faces and distorted limbs.

Strength and fragility coexist, questioning the stability of masculinity itself.

What does it mean to be strong, or to be male, in a body always breaking apart?  

傳統神話中英勇的少年戰神，在此處，「碎吒郎」的軀體卻是由無數張破碎的面孔與扭曲的肢體縫合而成。
強大與脆弱在此並存，激烈叩問著陽剛特質的穩定性。
在一個永遠處於碎裂與解體邊緣的肉身之中，所謂的強大、所謂的男性，究竟意指為何？   

電罡公
Guan Gong – Energy and Excess

His armor burns with wires, circuits, and servers, radiating both power and exhaustion.

This Electric Guan Gong is not a protector of morality but a warning of energy consumption, carbon emissions, and the digital excess of AI.

His light is brilliant yet unsustainable.    


祂的戰甲由導線、電路與伺服器狂亂燃燒而成，同時輻射出無上的權能與極度的力竭。
「電罡公」不再是傳統道德與正義的守護神，而是一尊關於能源榨取、碳排放以及 AI 數位過載的警世預言。
祂的光芒無比璀璨，卻注定無法永續。

廢羅王
Yama / King Yan-lo – Justice and the Binary

Seated on ruins, his throne is made of distorted faces, broken bodies, and battlefield debris.

He represents not only overproduction and waste, but also the violence of binary thinking: war, hatred, and ideological division.

Every opposition ultimately leaves only rubble.    

高踞於廢墟之上，祂的王座由扭曲的面孔、碎裂的肉身與戰場的殘骸構築而成。
祂不僅象徵著資本運作的過度生產與電子廢棄物，更直指二元對立思維背後的體制暴力：
戰爭、恨意以及意識形態的分裂。
每一次的陣營對立，最終留下的都唯有滿地瓦礫。

祝森娘
Zhusheng Niangniang – Multiplicity of Life

Traditionally a goddess of childbirth, she is surrounded not only by children but also by salmon, insects, and green uncanny spirits.

Here, fertility is not limited to humans but expands toward other species.

She asks: what counts as a child, what counts as life?    


傳統民俗中執掌生育的註生娘娘，在此處，環繞祂身側的除了孩童，更有鮭魚、昆蟲與綠色的怪誕靈體。
在此，繁衍與生命力不再是人類獨佔的特權，而是向跨物種的生態網絡瘋狂擴張。
祂提出終極的思辨：究竟什麼才算作子嗣？什麼才配稱作生命？
