第一位觀眾

有些作品完成之後，
還要再等一會兒。

Some things need a little time after they are finished.

畫完之後，
他看了很久。

After finishing, he stayed with it for a while.

有人靠近時，
他又想把它藏起來。

Whenever someone came near, he wanted to hide it again.

「你想讓人看嗎？」
「……想。」
「你不想讓人看到嗎？」
「……也不是。」

“Do you want people to see it?”
“…Yes.”
“And do you want to hide it?”
“…No.”

有些等待，本身就是一種陪伴。

「你在做什麼？」
「等。」
「等什麼？」
「等你想給我看的時候。」
「可能要很久喔。」
「所以我帶了椅子。」

Some waits are a kind of love.
“What are you doing?” “Waiting.” “Waiting for what?” “For when you want to show me.” “It might take a while.” “That’s why I brought a chair.”

天快黑的時候，小摺問：
「如果你看了，覺得它不像我呢？」

Near dusk, Ori asked, “What if you see it and it doesn’t feel like me?”

不是全部，只是一個小角落。

原來是這樣。

Not all of it. Just a little corner. So this is it.

有時候，準備好被看見，
不是把所有東西一次打開，
而是第一次沒有把自己完全藏起來。

Sometimes being ready to be seen begins with hiding a little less.
