簡介
使用過的輪船集裝箱代表了今日全球貿易中的貨物橫跨大海的旅程。通過選擇、重塑集裝箱的結構，藝術家將目光集中到了國際族群之間的關係上。集裝箱被改造成了經過完美切割的鑽石形狀，象徵著欲望、完美以及奢侈。如果測量它的規格的話，這顆鑽石重達6,500,000克拉。這件雕塑的鑽石切面不斷發出變換的彩虹色彩。
尹秀珍一直對「黑洞」這個概念的科學研究充滿興趣，即在廣義相對論的概念中，宇宙中的任何事物，包括光，都無法逃脫。《黑洞》因此可以被看做是這個世界對於資源和前進無限的消費欲望，並且也是對長期通過消耗環境來滿足這種欲望的警示。

Used shipping containers symbolize the journeys of products traded in our modern day global exchange. Xiu-Zhen Yin brings attention to the relationships between international groups of people by re-working this container. The structure was transformed into a would-be 6,500,000 carat signature round cut diamond, a form symbolizing of desire, perfection and luxury. Like the shining facets of a diamond, rainbow light emanates from within the sculpture.
Yin is interested in the concept of black holes, which are regions of space from which nothing, including light, can escape. Thus, Black Hole is both a symbol of the world’s desire to progress and to consume resources, and is a reminder of the long-term cost to the environment that results from the fulfillment of this desire.
