裝置，自造手工紙、水彩紙、霜白紙｜古典顯影、孔版印刷，2024
我從未真正學會如何道別。簡單的一聲「掰掰」顯得輕浮，而一封正式的信件又過於沉重。我習慣了匆忙、倉促的離別，卻總被那些突如其來的結束緊緊束縛。
這件作品誕生於一場漫長的倒數。我在出發前的一年申請交換，意識到自己即將離開這座養育我長大的城市，於是決定以嚴謹的態度向臺北致意。然而，臺北如此龐大，我幾經修改方向，最終選擇回到自己身上。從國中開始，我便每日往返於新北與臺北之間，大學時搬進宿舍，正式成為臺北市的居民。在這四年裡，我大多與自己獨處，偶爾外出拍照，情緒與思緒都沉澱在那幾十捲底片之中。
但這些看似隨意的影像該如何傳遞我的嚴謹？於是，我選擇了手工與時間。四幅小型作品以自製手工紙為基底，使用古典顯影技法——凡戴克棕，讓陽光緩慢地映照出我的身影，彷彿在時間的沉澱中逐步顯影。而中央的大幅作品則透過孔版印刷，在保留手工質感的同時，為這段與自己共度的歲月增添色彩。
這是一場與臺北的緩慢告別，一次對過去的正式道別，也是一種對自身成長的映照。

I have never truly learned how to say goodbye. A simple “bye” feels too casual, while a formal letter seems too heavy. I have grown accustomed to hurried, abrupt farewells, yet I always find myself tightly bound by the unexpected endings that come too soon.
This work emerged from a long countdown. A year before departure, I applied for an exchange program, knowing that I would soon leave the city that had nurtured me. I decided to pay tribute to Taipei with a sense of rigor. However, Taipei is too vast, and after several revisions, I ultimately turned inward. Since middle school, I commuted daily between New Taipei City and Taipei City. In my second year of university, I moved into a dormitory, officially becoming a resident of Taipei City. Over these four years, I spent most of my time alone, occasionally stepping out to take photographs—my emotions and thoughts quietly settling within dozens of rolls of film.
But how could these seemingly casual images convey my sense of rigor? I turned to craftsmanship and time. The four smaller pieces are mounted on handmade paper and developed using the Van Dyke Brown printing process, allowing sunlight to slowly imprint my image onto the surface—like a gradual emergence from time itself. The central large-scale piece, created through risograph printing, maintains a sense of handmade texture while adding color to the time I spent with myself.
This work is a slow farewell to Taipei, a formal goodbye to the past, and a quiet reflection on my own growth.
