創作理念 · STATEMENT
照料不能省去等待生長的時間
她走進比人更高的稻林，仍得等一株小苗慢慢長大。水流、風雨與倒伏讓照料有了重量；同伴伸出手，木柱接住稻莖，空掛鉤留下收成以外的地方。到了清晨，她重新坐在幼苗旁。
我把稻放大，讓成熟的重量成為可以走進去的空間。她可以仰望穗頂，也會被倒伏的稻莖迫得彎下身；尺度改變了她的姿態，沒有替她取消勞動。手仍要扶盤、搬竹、把留下的穀物分享給另一個人。
這本書從乾裂的土走到冷雨，再回到白牆邊的晨光。少量稻束與一排空鉤放在一起，讓成果與空缺都留下位置。最後的小苗沒有忽然長大：照料是一再回到它身邊，並且容許等待繼續。
Read the statement in English
Care cannot shorten the time of growth.
She enters rice taller than a person, yet must still wait for a small seedling to grow. Water, wind and fallen stalks give care its weight. A companion offers a hand, a wooden support holds a stem, and empty pegs mark what the harvest cannot fill. In the morning, she sits beside a seedling again.
I enlarge the rice until the weight of ripeness becomes a space one can enter. She looks up toward the panicles and bends beneath fallen stalks. Scale changes her posture without removing the work. Hands must still steady a tray, carry bamboo and share the grain that remains.
The book moves from cracked soil through cold rain to morning beside a white wall. A few rice bundles share a frame with a long row of empty pegs, leaving room for both gain and absence. The final seedling does not suddenly grow. Care means returning to it, and allowing the wait to continue.
