XT
《XT》以圖畫、文字和隱藏的舊照片記錄X路上的T大廈,是出生成長的地方,提醒自己不停向外尋求感知的同時,也要回頭觀看、想起自己來自哪裡,這本書的完成像是向外拋出一小幅畫面,期望接收到的人們也能再次面向這個城市。
書封的一層藍色,是表現建物興建中覆蓋了塑膠布的外觀,是當年工作桌前看出去的那幅景象,一棟正在不斷生長的大樓,逐漸遮蔽了原有的視界,真實地提醒著城市的變化。

In《XT》, I use illustration, words and old photos to record the building T on the X road where I was born and grow up. While I am always seeking perception from the world outside, making this little book reminds me to look back the past and the place where I tried to escape from but now I am back. Actually, there are so many stories in this old building and busy city. What I drew and wrote might be just a little piece of them, but I hope that people who got this short message would face this city again like me.
The book cover is the reproduction of the blue plastic cloth (with many little holes) covering architectures in process of constructing. This is the scene out of my room window, a growing up building gradually occupying the view, and tells me the non-stop change of the city.
