繪畫時,腦海裏總想着要演譯一回美人魚孤芳自賞、紅豆相思的心情,故此刻意配上賀鑄的石州慢,正因為有所思,結果一直找不到完稿的妥善方案,直至某一天在櫥窗瞧見 Gucci 圍巾的式樣,忽然有了覺悟,舉手投足間加插過紅黑二色的十⫿架,代表着宗教的貞潔,影射魚美人只能思凡,不具實幹,結果憶君令人老,歲月忽已晚,現世中茫茫人海,難道還欠缺雷同故事?
When I began this piece, I found difficulty visually depicting the innermost feelings of the mermaid who longed for love but was barren with no admirers for her beauty.
While window dressing one day, I saw a Gucci scarf which inspired me to draw the red and black crosses as the backdrop. As for this mermaid, longing for love is a misfortune, for she is deprived of any sexual organ (except her breasts), and is incapable of having an orgasm.
