所以就這樣了嗎 And So It Is
這是關於很個人內容的zine,但或許也是你/妳的個人內容。創作就是把自己挖開誠實裸露吧,「嘿,這是我喔」這樣,不誠實是不行的,對我來說。有股無可抗拒非得這麼做不可的力量驅使我「就做吧。」,這麼做就好像可以再往前走多一點。雖然晦暗、仍有一點光透亮。
每本zine藏有獨一無二的壓花,這些墜落的死去的花彷彿象徵無可挽回的美麗,但仍藏有一絲絲希望吧。我是這樣想的。
獻給每個破碎的你和妳
奇亞子 敬上
The zine was released on 13 Oct. 2017 during Taipei Art Book Fair. This new zine is quite personal which contains poems and images and is about some melancholic memory through my growing up life. Frankly these memories did influence me a lot and I've tried hard to live with them and gradually take them as my inspiration. In a way I think my experience could be similar to other people as well, so probably my work would accompany some people - we are similar and you/I am not alone. Life is definitely imperfect and there must be darkness that each of us need to go through. That's the fact and that's life.
What's special about this zine is that I put pressed flower I've collected and made on one of the pages, which represents the sense of sentimental and fragile feeling with a little hope and life. Therefore, each zine has different kinds of flora and it goes with the season changing.The zine is not mainly about my illustration works but a new trial of combining my drawings and poems.
