萬物皆有裂隙，那是光照進來的地方

我在畫這幅作品時是被作品引導著的，一開始我在畫布上塗滿自己想要的色彩 ，之後那個充滿層層堆疊與裂縫的人體造型慢慢成形，但最後右上角開出的那 個長方形的象徵性圖案，是在直覺裡想要開出的一方陽光，結果我也在日常生 活中發現陽光從窗戶透進來，那映照在牆上的樣子，竟然與這幅畫作上的意象 不謀而合，時值寒冬，我渴望陽光帶給自己溫暖。而這方陽光意象，也象徵一 種通道與途徑，引領我們穿越苦難，終究會看見光明與希望。 「萬物皆有裂隙，那是光照進來的地方。」(There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.)是加拿大詩人歌手李歐納．柯恩(Leonard Cohen)一首歌中的歌詞 ，很高興找到這麼直透人心又如此適合這幅畫寓意的一句詩，當成這幅畫作的 題目。 As I painted this artwork, I felt guided by the piece itself. Initially, I covered the canvas with colors I desired. Gradually, the layered and cracked human figure took shape. However, the symbolic rectangular pattern opening up in the upper right corner represented the sunlight I intuitively wanted to emerge. Interestingly, I later discovered sunlight entering through my window in daily life, reflecting on the wall in a way that coincided with the imagery in this painting. In the midst of winter, I yearned for the warmth brought by sunlight. The image of this sunlight also symbolizes a passage and pathway, guiding us through hardships, ultimately leading to the discovery of light and hope. The title of the artwork, "There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in," comes from the lyrics of a song by Canadian poet and singer Leonard Cohen. I am pleased to find a poem that resonates so deeply and suits the symbolism of this painting, making it the title for this piece.
