「假使我們『看了』（saw）過去的藝術，我們就將置身於歷史當中。」 《觀看的藝術》──約翰‧伯格。 

人們透過記錄影像，讓歷史凝結於特定時空，記錄即為真實，也因此記錄過程中，主觀者的情感介入，將造成人們對歷史共識產生差異。

在太陽花學運期間，有非常多的資訊、說法在參與者間流傳，然而自己理解到的事實，卻常常跟媒體報導截然不同。不同立場的團體在此交會時，情緒易於被放大、真相容易失真。

自己雖然參與其中，但理解到的事實，卻無法跟社會產生交集，到底當初所理解到的是真的嗎？這一切含糊令我困惑不安。 在事件發生一年後，仍然耿耿於懷無法放下，也因此試圖透過作品，來還原當初所感受到的一切。

“If we 'saw' the art of the past, we would situate ourselves in history.” Way of Seeing──John Berg

We solidify history in a specific space-time by recording images. Recordings are realities, which is why the emotional involvement of recorders may influence the viewers' cognition of history.

During the Sunflower Student Movement, a huge amount of information was circulated among the protestants. However, the facts I learned and those I read from media coverage often diverged. In the interaction among groups with different positions, our emotions may be disturbed and the truth may be twisted as a result.

I was a part of the movement. However, discrepancies existed between the facts I knew and the society's common understanding. Were the facts I learned during that period incontrovertible? I found such ambiguity completely bewildering and disturbing.

It has been a year since the event occurred, but I still take it to heart and cannot let it go. Therefore, I try to restore everything I felt at that time through my artworks.
