GOD & THE OLD SOUL
張開雙眼，肉身從夢境抽離，隱約記得夢裡我把泳池的水抽乾了。眼前一片白濛濛，房間注滿早白的晨光，白熊的黑色鼻子頂著下巴，一身軟白毛透著輪廓光，我伸手撫按牠的背，幻想牠眼睛骨溜溜，輕輕喚著我。
就這樣，我跟最愛的毛玩具躺了一個早上。
下午二時，四肢浸淫在惺忪睡意間綿軟無力，飢餓卻比怠倦感更逼人。我沒有理會，因為放假的日子，就只想荒廢著。
這次我夢到了和素未謀面的男人出海捕魚，遇上風浪一整個月都沒有進食，我們緊緊相擁維持著薄弱的餘溫。淚水沿眼角湧出，便醒來看著窗外夕陽擦臉。傍晚一陣微涼。
手機震了好幾下，敲打窗台冰冷石面。07:30，手機畫面閃著。明天我負責早更，要準備休息。
起碼，今天，我跟白熊一起過。
社會定義嘅「成功」對我黎講算係啲咩？
超級老土、好簡單，不過我所學識，人嘅生存價值就係以宇宙銀河裡的一顆星自處吧。建立好自己的價值，跟其他星體互相牽引。
我覺得做一個小動物照顧員係開心嘅話，就算無「世界最佳照顧員」，無「照顧員奧運」，我都會做落去。呢啲野，唔洗做世界第一。就算唔係世界第一，你都會選擇承受住人類競爭嘅壓力，做落去。
我地要拒絕情緒同想像主導自己。
好多時，人類將一個人嘅「失敗」歸咎於佢品性有問題，又會將一個人嘅「成功」歸功於佢個性獨特。做人格判斷嘅個個人，本身都只不過係一個唔完美、性格有殘缺嘅平凡人。現今社會，追求嘅更加係能夠配合商業運作、將獲利最大化嘅「完美人格」同「本事」。
專注建立好自己的價值觀，不斷成立「自己」。任何其他讓你承受不了的，長久下去都會不攻自破。
如此，永遠或一天，只有你，先可以再進一步改變、成立一個新嘅你「自己」。
讓自己成為自己的地獄，或天堂吧。
（以上為藝術攝影企劃《魚像》的藝術創作理念。）
What’s “success" to me?
It’s some old-fashioned cliche, but I have learnt that the meaning of life is to live as a star in the vast Milky Way Universe. Build your own values, and with your values, hold the connection between other stars and yourself.
If I think being a carer for little animals is happy, even if there’s no “Best Carer Award", no Olympics for carers, I will continue to work as a carer. We don’t have to be World no. 1. Even if we are not World no. 1, you will choose to shoulder the burden of human race competition, and keep going.
We have to avoid being controlled by our own emotions and imagination.
Most of the time, human beings blame “failures" on one’s personality, and attribute “success" to one’s unique character. The one who judge, is an imperfect person only, with unrefined traits. The modern society, asks for traits that are profitable to business, the “characters" and the “talents" that maximizes gains.
Stay focused on building your own values, keep empowering your “self" from time to time. Things that are overloading will crumple in the long term.
In this way, eternally or a day, only you, can move on, change, and define a new “you".
Let yourself become your own hell, or heaven.
(These are values behind the creation of art photography project “Fish Portraits".)
我們同行，然後療癒。We walk together, and heal.
攝影企劃目標係起碼30個參加者。一年一個，我都可以等，你一齊加入。我地需要你！！

與弱者同行 Be with the vulnerable.
社會集體潛意識一直在資本主義的激烈競爭裡扭曲崩壞。今天參與過聚餐，吃過豐盛的飯菜，有說有笑；一切卻全屬流於表面的虛浮。無人知道，實質是為何快樂。內心所珍重究竟是飯菜的汁液，與鄰座共同吸入的空氣，還是闊綽花掉的紙錢? 笑過就好。吃得一天，是一天。
我們每一個人，每一天，都是心靈肌肉承受著形形色色現代社會衝擊，並與之沉降淪落的平凡、善良人。
一直以來，我們沒有一個是失敗者、病患。
我們都只是平凡、善良之人。
而失敗者、精神病這些骨子裡蘊含著阻嚇力的病名，只是現代專業體制和醫療賜予每一個普通人的低等階層標籤。
「失敗」和精神「病」從來都只存在於一部份人對完美肉體、上流人格的幻想和快活裡。
您心目中嘅「善良」喺點樣嘅？
您可能會發現，其實我地每個人都一樣，內心善良、強大、美麗。我們比正常人更加正常。
來，一起同行，進行一場自我對話，療癒自己。
Our shared consciousness has been twisted and strangled under the intense competition of capitalism. Today we gathered at lunch, have had the best food in town, laughed a little; all this belongs to the vain on surface. None of us really understand what we are truly happy for. Do we treasure the sweet sauce of the dishes, the air we shared, or the money we spent without thought? It’s good to laugh a little today. Eat well today, and then, tomorrow awaits.
Every one of us, every day, shoulders pressure attacks of various shapes and weights with muscles of the heart and soul; and we sink with it altogether, as kind, ordinary people.
From the start, none of us are losers or illed.
We are all just ordinary, kind, people.
Mental ‘illness’ has only been alive in some people’s imagination and impulsive pleasures of perfect physical bodies and superior human traits.
And mental illnesses, these medical names with daunting powers engraved in their bones, are just inferior class labels put on every ordinary head by modern professional medicine.
What does your kind of Kindness look like?
You may find that every one of us are actually the same. Kind, Strong and Beautiful inside. We are much more normal than normal.
Come with us, for a conversation with your innerself, to heal yourself.

我《善良》呢個攝影企劃，俾一俾我朋友嘅例子大家參考 🪵🔥
。。。
Hello Chantelle! 久等了！
謝謝您之前回覆我《善良是我的本性》企劃嘅問題呀，我初步構思好左您嘅相片要點樣創作。
🌿攝影集每位受訪者嘅相片有3張：
第一張：您的人像照
第二張：您心目中的「善良」（照片）
第三張：您心目中的「善良」（文字版）
🌳第一張：您的人像照
全本攝影集為受訪者拍的第一張人像照將採用統一場景 （見下圖）。兩塊鏡意味住「他者」的存在，每一個人都係透過「他者」而尋找或看見「自己」。
🌳第二張：您心目中的「善良」（照片）
例子 – Chantelle您心目中的善良是 🌿陪伴身邊的同路人。
我為您照片的初步構想是 兩個身穿不同深淺粉藍色衣服的人並肩坐在一起聊天。
🌳第三張：您心目中的「善良」（文字版）
例子 – 善良是陪伴身邊的同路人。
🌤️🙂 天氣熱，我自己都會頂唔順，所以一定會揀比較多雲嘅日子/太陽落山時間去影。
。。。。。。
🌿Every Participant will have 3 photos taken in the Photobook:
First Photo: Your Portrait
Second Photo: A Photo of “What Kindness Means to You"
Third Photo: “What Kindness Means to You" in Text
🌳First Photo: Your Portrait
The whole Photobook will use the same background for the first portrait shoot (see below images). Two mirrors represents the presence of “Other People", since every one of us seek or see ourselves in “Other People".
🌳Second Photo: A Photo of “What Kindness Means to You"
Example – To Chantelle, Kindness means 🌿accompanying people along her journey. My initial thoughts for her photo creation is two people in different shades of blue sitting together to chat.
🌳Third Photo: “What Kindness Means to You" in Text
Example – Kindness is accompanying people along my journey.
到橋頭，時間自然會完成它的工作。
《善良是我的本性》的具體細節慢慢醞釀中，幾位好朋友大概也在等待我下一步的攝影安排。我也不時自我提醒拍慢板的重要性。
細思慢考，企劃句點在我的幻想裡清晰浮現如斯：
「我愛你，你這個有血有肉的人。」

您好，我喺阿寶 ：）
我希望能為被視為不正常的精神病患者做一輯攝影文字創作。
訪問很多人, 包括所有被視為「正常」與「不正常」的人 :
★ 他們心目中的 「善良」是什麼 ★
❝ 創作出的成品裡，會分不到哪些受訪者是「善良」和「正常」吧。❞
呢個project，歡迎所有人+任何人參與 ★★★ 誠邀您參與呢個project ! ★★★
Hi this is Kathleen!
I hope to create a photo-writing collection for ex-mentally illed friends who are seen as “abnormal" by the society. I will be interviewing a lot of people, including those seen as “normal" and “abnormal", ★ their perception of “KINDNESS". ★
In the final product, we won’t be able to distinguish who belongs to the category of “KIND" & “NORMAL".
This project welcomes everyone and anyone ★★★ Please join me in this meaningful project ! ★★★
呢個project並沒有截止日期，創作會一直進行。
This project has no deadlines, creation will continue.
