◢ Introduction展覽簡介
「種種可能」這個標題來自波蘭詩人辛波絲卡（Wisława Szymborska）的一首詩，整首詩不斷地重複使用一樣的句法「我偏愛⋯⋯；我偏愛⋯⋯；我偏愛⋯⋯。」構成。辛波絲卡用一句一句，一份又一份的偏愛去對抗日常生活的重複與平凡。
而這個展也是依循著類似的語法構成的，我使用海報這個形式，試圖捕捉那些藏於日常經驗中多樣且細微的情感。有時那些片刻會從日常中竄出，以某句、某物件或狀態的形式無預期地刺向我，如法國哲學家羅蘭巴特（Roland Barthes）所闡述之影像中的「刺點」那般：「不管如何突如其來，刺點總或多或少地潛藏著一種擴展的力量。」我嘗試將這些移動我內在情感之微小片刻視覺化，運用這種被擊中後的力量，去發掘那些藏於人類與世界關係隙縫中的隱喻與秘密。
此次展覽，展出了我從2024秋天至2025春天所創作的十八幅藝術海報作品，每一幅作品都蘊藏著一份我對生命的驚奇，並描繪了一種望向世界的可能性，我更傾向於去看見那些日常中的怪異、諷刺、幽默、優雅與美麗。（否則真的無聊死了啦哈哈！）
希望看到這些海報作品的觀眾，能享受這場情感冒險，並在平凡的生活中收穫自己的種種偏愛。
The title "Possibilities" originates from a poem by the Polish poet Wisława Szymborska, in which she repeatedly uses the same syntax "I prefer...; I prefer...; I prefer...". Szymborska uses one sentence after another, one preference after another to fight against the repetition and regularity of daily life.
This exhibition also follows a similar grammatical thread. Here, I use the medium of print art and sculpture to try and capture the diverse and subtle emotions hidden within daily experience.
Oftentimes, such moments will break through the humdrum of ordinary life and pierce me unpredictably in the form of a kind of sentence, object or a state, in a manner reminiscent of the "punctum" described by French philosopher Roland Barthes in his reflections on photography."However lighting-like it may be, the punctum has, more or less potentially, a power of expansion."
For my creations, I try to utilise the power from being pricked to visualise and transform these unpredictable moments into something solid, in hopes to better discover the metaphors and mysteries nestled in the hush between humans and the world.
This exhibition displays 18 art posters I created from the fall of 2024 to the spring of 2025. Each work reflects my quiet sense of wonder about life and depicts an alternative possibility of looking at the world around us. I prefer to see the weirdness, the irony, the humour, the elegance and the beauty that regular life presents, and I hope that those who see these works can embark on an emotional adventure and unearth their own preferences to bring joy into everyday existence.
