About Interpreting Discomfort 油畫系列

《詮釋不安》係一系列關於個人空間同社會壓力嘅油畫作品。畫作透過刻意編排嘅場景，呈現手部同眼神嘅互動，重現日常生活入面令人不安嘅時刻。關懷嘅舉動可以令人與人之間嘅距離拉近，但過度嘅關注同樣會帶嚟不適感。呢個系列結合咗兩種技法：間接畫法先建立黑白底色，再以透明釉彩上色；直接畫法則將混合色彩直接施於畫面之上。作品以油彩繪於畫布同木板之上，並喺畫廊展出，作為引發觀者對話同思考嘅起點。

Design Challenge: Ideation and the atmosphere is the hardest part of this project. In the presentation of the picture, the shape of the hands must be placed harmoniously in the picture without losing the beauty.
Research: The first thing is to study how to create an uncomfortable atmosphere. Eyes and hands are good parts for expressing emotions. The unnatural feeling of combining these two makes the picture more attractive and intriguing.

This series deals with issues of discomfort and stress in everyday life. We all care about how others view us, this has become the same as our invisible living standards.
