Vitality 生機
“Micro-plastic can go into our brain affecting our health”, a research information shard by a quiet member in our ‘creation care 120’ team triggered my painful emotions.
「微塑膠可進入大腦，影響健康。」
Ka 在團隊裏是最靜的一位，傳出這研究資訊結果，使我重訪壓抑心裏好久的塑膠為害，我實在要表達了！
Though I have no artmaking training background at all, I want to express this emotion.
最初將意念提出，But I am shy!
「yc有一顆童心, 出嘅作品一定好真！」S said.
“ you have a child like heart. Your artwork will be authentic.”
團隊鼓勵.
So I draft the initial thought.I went to the exhibition of OCAD U graduates.
I learnt that artwork can be on-going meditation . Big thanks to Piget Bowen.
Next day I was inspired by an indigenous artist, Alexis Nanibush-Pamajewong.
From the very beginning, my idea of this artwork is that it has to be a collective effort. I want to express that this cannot be done alone. Creation care has to be done together .
True, When we care for one another, More ideas, energy and strength emerges.
It requires action to make the dream come true!
However, emotions can go up and down, back and forth. How can I continue?
付上代價, It truly took efforts to make it happen. My fibromyalgia won’t let me go.
Meditation continues.
Collective work or in solitude.
Very grateful to my art teacher, 亦師亦友， 與我同行。Again he listened to my feelings and thought is the biggest gift from him. During the process, he also shared his meditation when doing art. This walking and coaching from him Is a gift from God.
