《日常Ordinary Days》

「真的只是日常嗎？」 “Is It Really Just Another Ordinary Day?”

這個作品的呈現，是以詩作為出發，並以Midjourney AI 生成圖片所完成的中英文繪本，最後搭配聲音設計與我朗讀詩作。
This work begins with poetry as its foundation, and unfolds as a bilingual picture book illustrated using images generated with Midjourney AI. The final presentation is accompanied by sound design and a recorded reading of the poems in my own voice.

「日常」這個作品展現：一個人內心雖有非常多變化，但在表面上卻如日常般普通。
“Ordinary Days” portrays how a person may experience deep internal shifts, while outwardly appearing as ordinary as any other day.

「日常」作品就如其名，日常的音效就是最重要的聲音，更能搭配這首詩的意境。
As its title suggests, “Ordinary Days” finds significance in the sounds of daily life—these familiar, ordinary sounds become the most important part of the piece, perfectly complementing the atmosphere of the poem.

由於我的畫畫技術跟不上我的想像，於是我借助現代科技的力量，使用Midjourney AI繪圖生成技術，一次次的不斷嘗試，最終把我腦海中想像的畫面呈現出來，這個過程也不是很容易的事情，AI並不是我肚子裡的蛔蟲，我的指令與它的生成，經常有一段距離，因此我需要不斷的調整指令。
Since my drawing skills couldn’t quite keep up with my imagination, I turned to modern technology for help—specifically, the image generation tool Midjourney AI.
Through countless attempts, I gradually brought the scenes in my mind to life. But the process wasn’t exactly easy—after all, AI isn’t a mind reader. There was often a gap between my instructions and what it produced, so I had to constantly adjust and refine my prompts to get closer to what I envisioned.

我覺得AI不會扼殺創意或者剝奪藝術家的工作，這次就協助我達到我期望的創作深度。
I don’t believe that AI stifles creativity or takes away the role of the artist—in this case, it actually helped me reach the level of creative depth I was aiming for.

因應詩作背後隱含寓意，我利用PhotoShop把魚頭修改到主角以外的人身上。
To reflect the symbolic meaning behind the poem, I used Photoshop to place the fish head on characters other than the main subject.

我認為詩作迷人之處，就是每個人都有不同的自身經驗，因此解讀方式也會不一樣，這也是藝術對我來說迷人的地方，每個人的解讀與藝術品的呼應，就是藝術的一部分！
What I find most fascinating about poetry is that everyone brings their own life experiences into the reading—so each interpretation is different.
That’s also what makes art so compelling to me: the way each person’s unique perspective interacts with the work itself is not just a response to the art, but a vital part of the art itself.
