「同理心」畫展‧Art of Empathy

當導師在工作坊上要求我們去想想的痛苦和折磨，我想起她。我腦海浮現的第一件事情是極端痛苦的患者，時尖叫時呻吟。然而，當我想到更深的時候，我覺得身體上的痛苦遠不及心理上的痛苦，這是沒有任何藥物或治療可以減輕的。 當我在想怎麼畫畫，我首先想到的是我應該使用的顏色。我將孤獨和悲傷聯想到冷色調。我畫了一個五官扭曲的人，面部的顏色是藍色和藍綠色。她在窗口旁邊，寒冷的風拂面。我也留了一大部分的空白(大約三分之一)，這表明大腦的一片空白。

 

When the instructor at the workshop asked us to think about pain and suffering I thought of her. First thing that came into my mind was a patient with extreme pain and agony, screaming at times and groaning at times. However when I think deeper, I think physical pain was nowhere near psychological suffering, which no medication or intervention would alleviate. When I thought of how to paint the picture, I first thought of the colors that I should use. I associated loneliness and sadness with the cold colors. I drew a person with distorted facial features, face color being blue and bluish green. She was beside the window where chilly wind was blowing. I also left a huge proportion of the painting white (around one-third) which shows a blank mind.
