Mother's Box No.1: Pregnant Box
Statement /
母親之盒 經過一段日子的累積,重新回頭檢視自己前一段的母職經驗、小孩的成長與其留下來的物品及記錄,每每都覺得如獲至寶。因為,每一物品都蘊含了我對我兒子的關愛,每一段文字都透露我歡樂悲傷的真實感受,每一張照片都隱藏著許多五味雜陳的故事。這樣重要的經驗與努力的過程都無法讓我被 “偉大的母親” 這類簡單的話來漠視過或遺忘。因此,我想要將它依不同的時間慎重地收藏在有積木外形的盒子中。這些我自己設計有如積木的盒子,將會以不同形式來收藏我的寶物。當它們閉合時,我可以用不同觀點重新建構它,就如同我們堆砌積木而創造出不同的結構。當它展開時,它就像博物館般展示我的收藏,讓我及我的觀眾細細品味每個細節。
When I reviewed my previous Motherhood experience, I always felt any things I leave or any records about my son growing are as if I had got an invaluable treasure. Because, every thing I preserved is rich in my love to my son, every sentence I wrote emerges my candid feelings of motherhood, and every photograph I took are behind a lot of stories with mixed feelings of grief and joy.I can’t let the important experience and effort be taken away by just the cliche of ‘Great Mother’. For the reason, I plan to carefully preserve all of them in the different square boxes shaped as a brick. All of the boxes will be design by myself with various interior storages. When the boxes close, I can play them as bricks to structure diverse appearances. When they open, they will be displayed as a small museum to allow me and my audients appreciate them by hand. |
