Commissioned by Hong Kong Film Critics Society, I created two pieces of work in response to the movie Like a Dream (2009) by director Clara Law. They were published in HKinema vol. 57, 2022.
The illustration for Xixi's Carnival of Animals (2022) was commissioned by CUHK Press.
《羊駝》西西
我喜歡的動物有很多
有些我見過,有些
只是在書本上,在電視電影裏看到
有什麼關係呢
知道世上有這些可愛的動物
就夠好了
我從未到過南美洲,雖然
我喜歡那裏的作家
我喜歡那裏的一種動物
叫駝羊
到底是駝,還是羊
我不知道,我覺得
不一定要知道才可以喜歡
我還是查了一下
原來我把名字顛倒了
就像習慣把貓熊
倒過來叫熊貓
應該叫羊駝才對
因為屬於駱駝家族
又叫草泥馬
哈哈,又跟馬扯上關係了
牠的樣子有趣
小小的頭,像羊
長長的頸項,當然沒有
長到長頸鹿那樣
但跟身軀同樣非常胖壯
一身絨毛
健碩的腿,可以
走在寒冷的山區
可以快速地奔跑
但有些人以為牠們不成比例
他們的所謂美人
都由尺做評判
那是可怕的對稱
我以為羊駝很漂亮
天生和善、諧趣
而且,最適合牠們生活的地方
是印加帝國的遺產
帝國消失了
牠們留下來
成為人類的朋友
應該受到尊重,獲得善對

private collection
As I took off from Manderley on a boat, I thought of a postcard I had bought once at a village shop, when on holiday as a child in the west country. It was the painting of a house crudely done of course and highly coloured, but even those faults could not even destroy the symmetry of the building, the wide stone steps before the terrace, the green lawns stretching to the sea...
