史旺姬《三種顏色的歸途》第15幅,第4章「每個人自己的方向」

創作理念 · STATEMENT

讓彼此靠近,也留下各自的方向

她讓不同的土地靠近,也為每個人保留自己的方向。紅色庭坪、白色水邊與綠色樹蔭,懸在同一片乾燥的土地上。她接過果實、端杯同行,也在樹下休息。到了暮色,歸途沒有把所有地方合成一處,留下的空隙仍能容納一次回望。

我把歸屬放在土地之間,而不放在一座完成的房屋裡。水、樹木與庭院各有重量,也各有日常。神性的動作讓它們靠近,接下來卻是端杯、跨步、聽人說話與離開:她能決定距離,不能替所有人決定生活。

赤陶的厚邊與細小的空隙,是這本書的兩種尺度。遠看,生活像幾座可以移動的島;靠近,掌心、鞋底與杯沿仍遵守熟悉的重量。夜晚,她扣上外套,把杯子交回對岸。人留在自己的土地上,物件與目光卻能往來;最後的回望發生在前行之中。

Read the statement in English

Coming closer, keeping an edge of one’s own.

She brings different lands closer while leaving each person a direction of their own. Red courtyards, white watersides and green shade hover above dry earth. She receives fruit, carries a cup and rests beneath trees. At dusk, homecoming does not merge every place into one; a gap remains for a backward glance.

Belonging lies between these lands rather than inside a finished house. Water, trees and courtyards each have weight and daily life. Divine action brings them closer; carrying a cup, listening and leaving follow. She can choose a distance without choosing everyone else’s life.

Thick terracotta edges and small gaps give the book two scales. From afar, daily life occupies movable islands; up close, palms, shoes and cups retain familiar weight. At night she fastens her jacket and returns a cup across the gap. People remain on their own ground while objects and glances travel between them. Her final backward glance belongs to a continuing step.

後記 · AFTERWORD

靠近不會抹去邊界。土地之間仍有縫,人們也仍有各自的步幅。她不再只從一旁安排距離,而是接過果實、聽見笑聲,在樹蔭與水邊找到身體的位置。到了暮色,日常並沒有因她坐下而停止。歸途的終點,不是所有地方變成同一種顏色,而是每一種顏色都還能被看見。

Nearness does not erase boundaries. Gaps remain between the lands, and people keep their own pace. She does more than arrange distances from the side: she receives fruit, shares laughter, and finds a place for her body in shade and beside water. At dusk, daily life continues even as she sits down. The journey home ends not with every place becoming one colour, but with each colour still visible.
