Moi Artwork

 
CL first sparked me to do an artwork because of the shooting duck concept. At that time the work was quite raw, even after amending a second time, I still feel the feel isn't there. Maybe because the duck doesn't feel threatened. But guess a lot of times, who knows they are actually being targeted right?



我們還是當好朋友比較快樂,
所以我才選擇你的愛情,
我站在對面。
- 橘子《你的爱情,我在对面》

Then a catch-up conversation with QR sparked a flurry of quotes from 橘子 and this line became the highlight haha. So I promised if I have time I will do an artwork. Original idea was someone at the opposite of the road. But while sorting my photos of BKK, I felt this statue outside Central World in Bangkok, Thailand depicted the feel. And I promptly did up the artwork before I start to procrastinate again haha.  Actually when I first created it, I felt the statue too smiley to depict the feel.  But I had a thought that maybe, if only, QR can smile at the opposite end, it might not be such a bad idea too. 
这坚硬的路,愿他能走得完。

Not sure if he understands this artwork though haha.  But then usually art appreciation is an individual perception of an artwork based on his/her feelings too. Suddenly remember this quote I saw in Robert Wilson's Voom Potraits.
I do not interpret my work.  Interpretation is for others.  To fix a meaning to a work limits its poetry and the possibility of other ideas.  They are personal, poetic statements of different personalities.
- Robert Wilson "A still life is a real life"

I should just let him interpret his own haha.

“叶子的离开,是风的追求,还是树的不挽留?”
- 橘子《你的爱情,我在对面》

I actually did this "叶子" artwork in between those 2 artworks because while googling 橘子《你的爱情,我在对面》, I actually like this question (to the extent I wrote a post on it and made an artwork for it because I remember this leaf I took when I was waiting for bus in SSPL that time.  It is weird how something you took a long time ago could actually depict a future event.  At that time, all I was thinking was why was there such a lovely fallen leaf on this rain-dripped pavement) much more than what QR shared with me on
"因為把心關起來總是比較安全。
寂寞,卻安全。"

He said I would like that line, but at that time I did not. Until I delved deeper and found the full phrase:
"那個名曰心動的表情像是把鑰匙般的,讓我關了一整年而且還鎖上的心,不設防的開了點縫,我不知道該怎麼辦,我覺得有點不太習慣。
因為我已經關了一整年的心,因為把心關起來總是比較安全。
寂寞,卻安全。"

"Lonely but safe." After QR explain to me, I suddenly realise, I fell in love with this phrase already haha. Will I do another artwork for it? Let me think about it because it has become too addictive.


鞋子有几双
脚却有一对
为何为了一双鞋子
折腾这对玉脚?

相同
男人有几百种
而赤心只有一片
为何为了一种男人
弄碎此玻璃心。
- 《命中注定我爱你》的看后感。。。

CL once said is a nice phrase.. not sure she still concur or not haha. But while seeing my new pair of shoes from Platinum Mall in Bangkok, Thailand... I thought about this phrase. Afterall is something I came up with. Somehow I have a feel that I'm getting abit too proud of my literary... shucks.. truth is I'm not. I'm just fascinated with this new idea of creating my own artwork because in the past, I used to admire people who does such works too.


人真的是一个很矛盾的动物
如果一直觉得答案是这样
就会不断的说服自己
曾经我把你当成我的终点
所以我很难放手
现在我知道你是我的过客
就变得容易多了
- 《败犬女王》的金句之一

北极熊对女王的一番话,深深刻在我脑里。
I still have the habit of repeating this phrase to myself.. except I cannot see the 终点 nor 过客 already haha.  And after sharing it with that 萍水相逢 friend, I thought about this MRT track I took a long time ago too.  At that time I was also asking myself, is that the end?  Or will it be extended.  Hmm....


友:
我们都是孤独地存在,
而不同的是。。。
你孤独的这么自在。。。

我:
我可以如此自在,
因为我很感激现在。。。

一年前对友说过,人一定要珍惜现在。
A phrase inspired by The Present by Spencer Johnson, M.D.
I still believe to treasure my present because it is God's gift to me.  And I will always remember this day I tried to catch the sunrise with my parents.  It has been a long time since I run with them especially with my mum's health plus the fact I hurt my knee previously.  I still have not catch a good sunrise in Pasir Ris.  But this ship cloud is probably the best memories I have of a Pasir Ris Beach morning.
