A Tightrope walking

1987-1988

I live by a railway, and one of the regular routes for my walks is to cross the railway and to walk towards in the direction of the cultural center. In the early days, I became extremely interested in nighttime light and shadows, which became inspiration for my sketches and paintings. There was also a time when I focused greatly on the image of tightrope walking in my sketches because I felt that for those like me, there were two sources of life-threatening danger: one was the complications caused by high blood sugar, while the other was the imminent lethal threat caused by low blood sugar.

走索者

1987-1988

我住在一條鐵路旁邊，我最常步行的路線是越過鐵路，往文化中心的方向走去。早期我對夜間的光影有很多的興趣與觀察，後來這些都轉成一些素描與繪畫。我也曾經有一段時間對走鋼索的意象有很多素描，我覺得對我這樣的人而言，我們的危險有兩種：一個是因為高血糖而造成的併發症；另一個是因為低血糖而造成立即致命的威脅。
