You built a home in my heart｜心之房 (2023-2024)
Animated Short Film 動畫短片 | 6min 42sec


Translating and encapsulating the artist's personal childhood experiences as well as past lived experiences, “You build a home in my mind” explores themes of memory, loss, and resilience. It comprises of objects from childhood and special objects recalled from memories—weaving together a melody that lures the viewers to roam and wander. The animated imagery of Hong Kong's cityscape symbolizes the fleeting nature of experiences and the emotional weight they carry. By weaving together nostalgic objects and fragmented memories, the work invites viewers on a journey that mirrors their own searches for meaning in a world marked by uncertainty and change.

《心之房》回顧藝術家自身的童年回憶及過往經歷，圍繞對記憶、失去與復原力的探討。在搖籃曲似的⾳樂節奏中，回憶的⼩船從⼀⽚湖⽔綠的流動影像之中破浪⽽出，航⾏於夢境與記憶之間，回憶中別具意義的物件及公園的遊樂設施飄散、旋轉、浮游於觀眾⾯前，城市的碎片拼湊出交錯的朦朧敍事，牽引觀眾去尋找它所承載的記憶與生命。通過將懷舊物品和碎片化的記憶交織在一起，作品邀請觀眾踏上一段自我探索的旅程，映照着他們在一個充滿不確定性和變化的世界中所尋找的意義。Supported by
