ELAINE CHIU 趙綺婷

「生活中，有許多美麗的時刻，這些平凡的瞬間，往往能觸動我們的心靈。美的感動，來自真、善的人們，令普通的生活場景有家的感覺。這次展覽我用小張的畫布，繪畫我在社交平台收集到、日常街頭互動觀察到的居民心聲，發掘種種扣人心弦的動人故事：信念之美、堅定的美、守護的美、以及在困難之中不離不棄的情誼......
 
我將這些絮絮訴說，渲染成一幀幀色彩強烈的城市圖畫。畫面中，色彩好比我看到的感情，城景則是故事的承載，配合觸動到我的街坊故事語句，希望與您一同走進這趟平凡卻觸動處處的世間旅途。」
 
“Life is filled with beautiful moments—ordinary instances that often touch our souls deeply. True beauty emerges from genuine, kind-hearted people who transform everyday scenes into spaces that feel like home. For this exhibition, I've used intimate canvases to paint residents' voices collected from social media and observed through daily street interactions, uncovering compelling narratives: the beauty of belief, the elegance of determination, the grace of protection, and the unwavering bonds that persist through hardship.
I've rendered these whispered tales into vibrant urban tableaux where colours reflect the emotions I've witnessed, and cityscapes serve as vessels for these stories. Accompanied by the moving phrases from neighbourhood narratives that have touched me, I invite you to join this journey through the ordinary world that is extraordinarily moving at every turn.”
