「吟花」(2018-2019) 押花過程就像對待屍體一般,古代木乃伊的保存方式。鮮花活
摘下未完全死亡前,讓其充份從根 部吸取保存性顏料,再進行脫水。待完全乾燥後二度
上色,試圖恢復其原有光彩。對待花,對待 人的同樣行為,放不下的是那肉身凋零。而那
乾燥後的脆弱,宛如生命輕薄如紙,稍縱即逝。
Flower Chant
The process of pressing flowers resembles the treatment of a corpse, like the preservation methods used for ancient mummies. The fresh flowers are picked while still not entirely dead, allowed to fully absorb preservative pigments through their stems, then dehydrated. Once completely dried, they are painted a second time, in an attempt to restore their original radiance. The way we treat flowers mirrors how we treat people—what we cannot let go of is the withering of the flesh. Once dried, their fragility is like life itself: as thin as paper, vanishing in an instant.
