“I went on the board first time that day. In the Ocean, everything looks all the same. I can’t see the land for several days…”
Statement:
The plane floated on the blue ocean, drifting slowly with water surface. It looks like a tragic scene, romantically floating in the sea. This emotional image which came from my uncle, a seagoing officer, describes his memory of nautical life and the scene of going on board for the first time. The scene said “I went on the board first time that day. In the Ocean, everything looks all the same. I can’t see the land for several days…”
2017年曾經在一個聯展中展出一件作品,靈感來自於從遠洋船員剛退休的舅舅所說的一些大海的景象和情緒,對於一位半輩子都以大海為職業的人而言,所見所聞都以一些簡單的話帶過了,有一次的聊天過程中那句話一直在我腦海裡揮之不去:「那天是我第一次上了船,海到處都長一樣,一連好多天看不到陸地…」。
此件作品主要是來自自己對生活的感想結合舅舅跑船人生的的記憶,每日反覆一樣的景象最為熟悉且安定,人一直在不停重複生活的片段,而邁向無知的未來,有點膩的反覆一樣的事物,夾雜的不安地的擔心,好似舅舅回憶起他第一次上遠洋商船上的記憶,而此段記憶場景一直反覆出現在他日後的生涯,相似的景象,但航向未知航線。
