ANIMATION→ Elephant in Castle 城堡裡的大象 (2021)
Elephant in Castle is a 2D digital animation, using a hand-drawn frame-by-frame process to create subtle abstract narratives. The work expresses a constant change within Lee’s inner world, to express the emotional, aesthetic, and tactile responses that she has to Hong Kong, the city where she grew up. Stepping into a new decade, the world is coming to an unprecedented and critical moment in history. The work could be a reflection conveyed by Lee's sentimental responses to the personal stories and memories that took place in the city.
《城堡裡的大象》使用逐幀手繪的方法，創造出幽微又抽象的敘事。這部作品創作於2019年和2020年這兩個奇特的年份。表達了創作者不斷變化的內心世界，並描繪了她對香港這個她出生長大的城市有關情感、美學及觸覺上的回應。 創作靈感來⾃與 Topophilia 相關的研究主題和藝術作品。Topophilia 是⼀個希臘傳統術語，結合⾃Topo-，「地⽅」，和-philia，「愛的」，意為⼀種「強烈的地⽅感，往往與某些⼈對該地的⽂化認同感和對某些⽅⾯的喜愛混合在⼀起」。⽣活在⼀個城市裡的⼈可能來⾃不同的地⽅，但對於居住的地⽅，甚⾄只是偶爾經過的某個地點，他們都構築起了屬於⾃⼰的情感連結。
