我在女性的力量与庇护中长大。
那是一种强大、细腻、柔软、笨拙的、沉默的爱——如无声的黑夜，如炽热的血。
爱既是滋养，也是重压。
我们的肉体、知识、思想、财富与爱，
透过血液、记忆与子宫，一代又一代地传承下来。
线、羊毛、发丝、血管、肌肉、DNA……
将我们紧紧连结在一起。
我是承载者。
家族女性的爱流淌于我体内，
通过我的身体，
我的语言，
我的双手……
我追随传统，遵循那些冗长而艰苦的工艺流程，仿佛是在折磨自己。
手、背、眼睛的酸痛令人筋疲力尽。
这个过程如同一种自律，痛苦却无法回避。
东亚人习惯以苦与牺牲来表达爱与奉献，
我痛恨这种思维，却也不自觉地重复着。
我用极端的色彩讲述故事。
我缠绕、编织、刺绣、书写……
I grew up sheltered by feminine strength and protection.
Powerful, subtle, soft, awkward, unspoken love, as silent noir black, as fiery blood.
Love is both sustenance and pressure.
Our flesh, knowledge, thought, wealth, love, through blood, through memory, through the womb, generation after generation.
strings, wool, hair, veins, muscle, DNA…
that binds us together.
I am a carrier.
The love of the women in my family flows through
my body,
my words,
my hands…
I follow traditional and painstaking routines, torturing myself.
My hands, back, and eyes ache with fatigue
The process feels like self-discipline, painful yet unavoidable.
East Asians tend to suffer and sacrifice themselves to show love and devotion.
I hate this mindset, but everyone is doing it, and I am doing the same.
I tell stories with extreme colors.
I twine, I knit, I embroider, I write….
