The Unseen Ones 不被看見的人

回想起畫畫的契機,大概是小時候的隨筆一揮,結果被老師大力誇讚”你畫畫很有天賦!”從此便在我內心埋下種子,認為自己長大後必定有一番作為。後來網絡的方便帶我看到很多真正有能之人,我後知後覺地發現: 原來我很普通。 自知平庸卻還在堅持,不被看見卻仍然熱愛,即使年少時的美好幻想破碎,我卻還在畫。這系列作品描繪了我經歷過的種種挫折和自我懷疑: 頭腦風暴的混亂、反覆練習的迷茫、被規則束縛的無力、自我質疑後的虛無,最終化作孤獨的吶喊。
Looking back, it all started with a careless stroke of my brush as a child. My teacher praised it enthusiastically: “You have a talent for drawing!” That planted a seed in my heart—a belief that I was destined for something great.
But as the internet opened my eyes to truly talented artists, I slowly realized: I am ordinary. Yet here I am—painting despite knowing my mediocrity, creating despite being unseen. The youthful fantasy of greatness has shattered, but I still paint.
This series captures my struggles—the chaos of creation, the grind of practice, the chains of rules, the hollowness of self-doubt—until all that remains is a silent scream into the void.
