LOVE BY THE MOON x Cathy Au 探索兔子的奇妙世界 Art Exhibition, K11 MUSEA

人生就像一場不斷收集金色種子的旅程,無論它最終能不能結出閃耀的果實,我們也懂得享受擁有它們的過程。
。。。。
走了一段路,小琪跟著小田鼠穿過了金色大樹的樹根和一小片的蘆葦叢後,終於看到一個半圓形的小山丘,上面佈滿了植披,仔細看,攀藤植物中還掛着一條條又一顆顆的金色顆粒。

「歡迎歡迎!來到我的小家!快點過來!我好久都沒有遇到喜歡金色種子的朋友了!來!過來過來!這邊這邊!」小田鼠招手邀請小琪進來,並把一堆雜物推向旁邊,空出了一張小小的長木凳,拍了拍上面的塵土。

「你看這個,這個!還有這個!」小田鼠都沒有等待小琪回應就不斷將不同的金色條鏈及顆粒放在他的手中。
「不...不好意思阿。其實…我並不是收集金色種子的朋友。」 小琪等待了半天終於不好意思的打斷了小田鼠熱情的分享。小田鼠臉上瞬間流露了一絲失望的表情,眼睛默默地看着手中還想分享給小琪的寶貝沉默了。

「不過,不過!我覺得很有趣。也想了解更多,不如…你介紹多點金色種子!說不定,我也真的能成為你一起收集金色種子的朋友啊!」 小琪看到小田鼠的反應後帶着微笑,握著手中剛剛遞過來的金色種子,真誠的看着小田鼠說。
「好,好!」小田鼠眼中泛起一點點淚光,準備好給小琪解釋關於金色種子的故事。

小田鼠介紹自己叫艾布納,原是田鼠村的研究人員之一,和大家一樣,每天都會到田裏研究種子,開發更多的植物魔法。 但有一天,突然在田裏找到了一顆金色的顆粒,而且不斷在附近也有掘到更多金色閃耀的顆粒和條鏈。 他開始收集並研究它們,日復一日地將研究成果分享給身邊的朋友,可是村內沒有任何人相信他,認為這些只是田裏的殘留物。但艾布納始終堅信這些是罕見金色的種子,一定能夠結岀閃耀的果實,讓原先的植物魔法基礎上更上一層樓。直到現在,他也一直堅持收集及研究他們。而小琪的出現,讓他第一次能夠將他的研究成果分享給別人,讓他們知道,金色種子是值得相信的。

「不過,老實說,即使他們最後不能結岀果實,我也很喜歡這個過程。他們…他們都是我相信的所有了。」 艾布納在分享後淡淡的說了這一句說話,像小孩子一樣小心翼翼的守護自己的夢想,而小琪的內心深處,更願相信亦更想看到金色種子結果的一天了。

除了創作故事,Cathy 還喜歡研究粉系結晶釉,今次展覽創作出「許願池」系列,寓意許下的願望將會為人生濺起不同的水花,而結晶象徵着這些願望碎片凝固在坯身上,浪漫而夢幻。

Life is like a journey of continually collecting golden seeds. Regardless of whether they ultimately bear shining fruit, we learn to enjoy the process of having them.

。。。。

After walking for a while, Cathy followed the little field mouse through the roots of a golden tree and a small patch of reeds, finally arriving at a semi-circular small hill covered in greenery. Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the climbing plants were adorned with strings and clusters of golden particles.

"Welcome! Welcome! Come to my little home! Hurry over! I haven't met a friend who likes golden seeds in a long time! Come! Over here, over here!" The little field mouse waved and invited Cathy inside, pushing a pile of clutter aside to free up a small wooden bench, dusting it off.

"Look at this, this one! And this one!" The little field mouse continued to place different golden chains and particles in his hands without waiting for Cathy's response.  
"Uh... I'm sorry, but actually… I'm not a friend who collects golden seeds," Cathy finally interrupted the enthusiastic sharing after a long pause. A fleeting expression of disappointment crossed the little field mouse's face as he silently looked at the treasures in his hands, wanting to share them with Cathy.

"But, but! I find it very interesting and would like to know more. How about… you introduce more golden seeds! Who knows, I might really become your friend in collecting golden seeds!" Seeing the little field mouse's reaction, Cathy smiled, holding the golden seed he had just handed her, looking sincerely at him.

"Okay, okay!" A glimmer of tears appeared in the little field mouse's eyes as he prepared to explain the story of the golden seeds to Cathy.

The little field mouse introduced himself as Abner, one of the researchers from Field Mouse Village. Like everyone else, he would go out to the fields every day to study seeds and develop more plant magic. But one day, he suddenly found a golden particle in the field, and soon after, he discovered more shining golden particles and chains nearby. He began to collect and study them, sharing his findings with friends day after day, but no one in the village believed him, thinking these were just remnants from the fields. However, Abner firmly believed that these were rare golden seeds that could surely bear shining fruit, elevating the original plant magic to new heights. To this day, he has continued to collect and study them. Cathy's appearance allowed him to share his research for the first time, showing others that golden seeds are worth believing in.

"However, to be honest, even if they never bear fruit, I really enjoy this process. They… they are everything I believe in." After sharing, Abner said this softly, carefully guarding his dreams like a child, while deep down, Cathy was more willing to believe and eager to see the day when golden seeds would bear fruit.

Aside from creating stories, Cathy also enjoys researching Crystalline glazes. She created the "Wishing Fountain" series for the exhibition, symbolizing how wishes can create different ripples in life, while the crystals represent these fragments of wishes solidified on the clay body, romantic and dreamy.

當我們成為一顆努力發光的點,四周的事物都會為你綻放。

「帶上一張手繪地圖和幾顆團子,小琪鼓起勇氣,爬上那條不可知的、又長又潮濕的隧道,向著光源的方向出發。

當小琪穿過隧道的一剎那,初春的陽光沐浴在她身上,雪白的皮膚添加了一點金橘和檸檬的味道。

小琪驚訝又好奇地想著,這是什麼神奇的魔法,能令大地綻放出那麼燦爛的花海。生命氣息都包圍著她。」

除了創作故事,Cathy 還喜歡研究粉系結晶釉,結晶作品像將一朵朵不規則的閃閃,凝固在坯身上,浪漫而夢幻。

When we work hard to be the shining star, everything blooms for you.

“Bringing a hand-drawn map and a couple of dango, Cathy plucks up the courage and climbs through the long and moist tunnel toward the unknown- she is heading toward where the light shines from.

When Cathy passes through the tunnel, warm sunlight shines on her- it adds the smell of Kumquats and Lemons to her fair skin.

Cathy wonders what the secret magic that makes the Earth bloom such a splendid sea of flowers is. The sense of life surrounds her. “

—— The adventure rabbit Cathy

Apart from creating the stories, Cathy enjoys studying crystalline glaze in Pink. Her work is like putting irregular sparkles on clays. It is romantic and dreamy.

㝠湖—是在「黑盒子」事件發生後在動物間流傳的一個傳說地方,據說那裏的湖水像有着無限的生命力般閃閃生輝,不斷幻變,而在湖的中央住著生命的始祖,只要誠心的向他許願,他能夠復原和帶來一切的生命。

 

小琪在結集了一個又一個線索後,利用田鼠族長的方向花跨越一片又一片的山坡,終於在山的盡頭找到了傳說中的㝠湖。

 

小琪小心翼翼的走向湖水,在抬頭的瞬間……

 

——節錄於 「歷險兔子小琪 The Adventure Rabbit Cathy」

'Lake of death' is a place circulating by the animals' word of mouth after the incident of “Black Box”. Its water is described as it endures infinite sparkling and evolving energy.

The centre of Lake, as well as our life ancestors habitat, is well known for rebounding and healing every living soul, only if you wholeheartedly pray.

After gathering hints piece by piece, crossing hill by hill with Vole patriarch's guiding flower, Cathy have finally discovered the legendary Lake of Death.

She walked towards in tiny steps, and when she looked up...
