My contribution to the SEA CHANGE project.
‘We easily take everything for granted. However, if I really think about it. I understand nothing. Taking a fish for instance, do I really know this species? Their story? ‘This fish would become a window for me to the world. It’s a wonder to see the diversity of life.’

Love In Chinese character is written as 愛. It assembles two words together, the heart (心) and a word like suffering (受). The part which the lady is going to eat is the heart (心) .
Without the heart, there is only suffering (受) on her plate.
It is like love.
此作品投稿2016年台北詩歌節，當年徵稿主題為「多元成詩」，以多媒材、跨界創作詩為主。一直以來，我對圖像詩、具體詩深感興趣，同時也對（象形）文字和符碼的神秘和隱喻深感著迷。在幾幅個人創作中，我嘗試將繁體中文字解構，放入圖像中。這幅《簡餐》即是將「愛」字拆解成「心」和「受」兩個部分，透過自創的短詩，表達出都會男女單身的心情。
「都一個人晚餐，
然後單點一份愛，
先美味了心，
再苦都可以承受了。 」
I've always loved Calder's mobiles and sometimes I add mobiles to my illustrations. For this particular project, I chose the four seasons as my theme. I wanted to use the pictographic traditional Chinese characters as the basic structures to create mobiles representing each season.
You may ask me why there's always a little rat in the illo. Well, that's because I started the project in 2020, the year of the Rat.
To see the high-quality video clip of these four different mobiles moving around please check my Vimeo this link.
The mobile in the middle part is inspired by the word ‘Autumn ‘ in traditional Chinese character, written as 秋. The animated version is shown down below.
In traditional Chinese, Winter(pronounced as Dong) is written as 冬. The pictographic form originally depicts a rope with two knots on each side. Ancient people tied the knots to keep records. In this case, the two knots on the rope mean the end of one year. The ornament in this illo is inspired by the pictographic form.
Spring, 春.
Spring is a pleasant season of the year. The bottom part of this traditional Chinese character is 日 which means the sun.
