創作理念 · STATEMENT
當一個人不願意走出來，我們能給她什麼？
古書記載，天照隱入岩戶，天地陷入黑暗；眾神在門外起舞、哄笑，最後把她牽出洞口，封住岩戶，不讓她回去。
這裡的重心在門外那群不太會表演的人：敲木箱的拍子會錯，舉起的枝葉被火光投成一隻巨大的鳥。笑聲抵達石壁，卻沒有替她決定下一步。後來，他們學會放輕聲音、讓出位置。
鏡子不是命令，只是一面被搬到空地上的鏡架。她伸手改變它的角度，那是她自己的決定。
從岩室的冷，到門外的火光、草坡上的日光，最後停在溪邊的休息。走向光，不表示從此必須快樂。
洞口一直開著。她仍選擇追上同伴；因為還能回去，走出來才是選擇。

What can we offer someone who does not want to come out?
The old chronicles tell how Amaterasu hid in the rock cave and the world went dark; the gods danced and laughed outside, then led her out and sealed the cave behind her.
Here the weight shifts to the people outside, who are not very good at performing: their beat on a wooden crate goes wrong, and the branches they raise are thrown by firelight into the shadow of an enormous bird. Their laughter reaches the rock wall but does not decide her next step. Slowly they learn to lower their voices and make room.
The mirror is not a command, only a mirror on a stand, carried out into a clearing. She reaches out and changes its angle; the decision is hers.
From the cold of the cave to the firelight at its mouth, the daylight on the grassy slope and, at last, a rest by the stream: walking toward the light does not oblige her to be happy.
The cave stays open. She still chooses to catch up with her companions; only because she can go back is walking out a choice.
