簡介
對董明晋來說，「創作」是一個讓自己能瞬間放空或即刻改變心境的方式，並且再現了生活中那些容易丟失、流於習慣或視而不見的內在情感。這樣的自我觀照也反映了董明晋作品中，持續關注顯形和隱形之間的微妙關係。
利用鋼鐵堅硬的材質特性，書寫出由線條所構成的「草」；枯葉幻化成生物的翅膀；由內向外撐出，如含苞待放的花朵。三件由自然的形態出發的作品，探討雕塑的實體空間到心理空間的轉換。木頭之下展現了不可言喻的張力，隱約地透露了內在的線索，流暢的線條與模糊的抽象美感，像是遊移於詩與散文間的呢喃，引導觀者進入對內在空間的想像。
座落於仁愛圓環的Roots旗艦店除提供廣受喜愛的品牌男女服飾、童裝及皮件外，也同時進駐大獲好評的Roots Café和Roots Home系列傢俱。透過複合式的空間，呈現兼具質感與隨興休閒風格的品牌意象，坐在Roots Café中彷彿在湖畔享受天氣清朗的假日，在庸擾的城市裡享受難得的靜謐。
To Ming-Chin Tung, creativity is a means to letting go of one’s inhibitions and setting a new mood; it is a way of rediscovering the emotions that we so easily lose in the flow of everyday life. This kind of introspection is reflected in Tung’s work, especially in the constant focus between the obvious and the subtle. Whether it is “grass” created with strokes similar to those of Chinese writing; withered leaves fashioned like wings; or a budding flower, the nature-inspired sculptures made by Tung explore the relationship between physical and psychological space. The wood appears to be of a fabric-like quality—the lines create the illusion of tension, as if the wood is stretched over a frame. Like the fine relationship between poetry and prose, this leads viewers to imagine a new space within themselves.
Other than displaying Canadian casual clothing and accessories, the Taipei flagship store of Roots is also home to the critically acclaimed Roots Café and Roots Home furniture series. The store space represents the relaxed, recreational style of the brand, and spending time in the store is almost like relaxingby the lakeside on a clear weathered holiday.
