小時候最喜歡的時刻,就是放學回家跟爸媽一起吃飯,他們很疼我、很怕我吃不飽,總是把最大的雞腿留給我,做我最喜歡吃的蕃茄炒蛋時不時就問我夠不夠?要不要再裝一點?廚房還有多!
國中後因為補習社團忙碌,漸漸少了三人一起在餐桌用餐的時刻,後來媽媽就定了「家庭聚餐日」,時間為:星期天晚上六點半。正值叛逆期,對於跟爸媽溝通有點障礙,朋友玩樂的吸引力也大大勝於家庭,所以常故意排滿禮拜天的時間、忽悠帶過了無數年的聚餐。
到了這一兩年才漸漸發現,我其實很想念那時刻單純的互動,省思自己內心對父母的歉意跟愧疚,這件作品是轉化過去家人對我完全的愛跟包容。

每一顆螺絲都有一個對應的孔徑,
只要有螺絲,不管是否需要,通通都給你;
給出全部擁有的,我覺得厭煩、覺得多餘、覺得你們不懂。

規律不偏差的機械,變不出一點心意,
精確循環在每一重要與不重要的分秒間;
每天的關心問候教育,我看為限制的冰冷,不能妥協的精準。

父母愛人的方式不會改變,要改變的,是我們愛父母的方式。
享受,舀到碗裡的幸福。


My favorite childhood memory was going home after school, and enjoying dinner together with my parents. They’d always save the best bite for me, constantly making sure I ate enough. However, as I started middle school, homework, the after school tutoring programs and my friends began to distance me from my family. The time I spent with family became less frequent, and I even felt annoyed by the love and caring my parents showed me at times.

Until recently, I didn’t realize how much I missed sitting down with my parents to enjoy dinner together. I started to have thoughts of regret as I looked back. I wished it’d hit me sooner. This project embodies the disregard I had towards the quality time I could’ve spent with my family, even in simple things like eating together, talking about daily events, and, just overall, sharing all our joys and defeats.

My parents love is never-ending; now I have learned to cherish them.
