Description
Sheep in the Cloud explores the threshold between lucid dreaming, solitude, and the desire for social erasure. Through a whimsical yet philosophical dialogue between a dreaming child and an invisible sheep, the work contemplates how invisibility and being forgotten might serve as a gateway to ultimate freedom.
作品簡介
《雲朵裡的羊》探討了清醒夢、孤獨以及渴望於社會中隱形之間的臨界點。作品透過清醒的孩子與隱形小羊之間饒富哲理的童話對白，凝視「隱形」與「被遺忘」如何成為通往極致自由的起點。
Work
Under the tranquil night sky, a child counting dream-sheep reached ninety-nine and stumbled upon one that was invisible.
"Where are you going, invisible sheep?" the child asked, intrigued.
"I roam free; don't bother with me," the sheep replied softly.
"But I see you," the child insisted.
"How curious," mused the sheep.
"I'm awake in my dream; that's how I see you," the child explained, blinking.
"Are you trying to sleep by counting us?" the sheep inquired.
"Yes. Are you lost?" the child nodded.
"No, I just don't want to be seen," the sheep confessed.
"Why is that?" the child probed gently.
"Different isn't always welcome," the sheep sighed.
The child pondered, "Can I be invisible too?"
"Silence and listening might get you there," suggested the sheep.
"Won't I be forgotten?" the child's voice wavered.
"Maybe. But being forgotten can also set you free," the sheep consoled.
The child laughed, and slowly everything in front of her became blurry.
作品文本
在寧靜的夜晚，小孩閉眼夢見小羊們，數到第九十九隻，遇見一隻隱形的小羊。
「隱形的小羊！你要去哪裡？」小孩好奇地問。
「我是自由的，不要管我。」小羊輕聲回答。
「但我看見你了。」小孩困惑。
「怎麼可能？」小羊驚訝。
「因為我清醒，在夢裡看見你。」小孩揉眼。
隱形小羊沉默，然後問：「你是在數小羊幫自己入眠？」
小孩點頭：「你迷路了嗎？」
「不，我只是不想被看見。」小羊搖頭。
「為什麼？」小孩柔聲詢問。
「我不同，不想被指指點點。」小羊輕嘆。
「那我怎樣才能隱形？」小孩眼中帶著渴望。
「保持沉默，做個傾聽者，也許有天你能隱形。」小羊回答。
「那我會被遺忘嗎？」小孩擔憂。
小羊輕觸小孩額頭：「可能，但遺忘也許是自由的開始。」
小孩笑了，眼前慢慢變得模糊。
