In my childhood, shadow was my friend.

 

My shadow was always changing. Sometimes it looked like a monster hanging on the wall, while sometimes it seemed as if a fish swimming in deep water. It often appeared as a same-looking guy as me, silently tagging along. However, occasionally, it met me as a grown-up under the street light. It seemed that this simple optical phenomenon possessed endless magic power, easily breaking off the rules and regulations filling in the city, attaching to everywhere. In the extreme world alone, after meeting this omnipotent friend, I can’t help to look forward to the infinity of possibility in the future.

 

The shadow, is the gathering collection of fantasy in childhood, which was unfortunately forgotten as the time went on.

 

Whether the visual effect of light and shadow or the familiar scenes can all be reproduced. What we cannot retrieve is the surprise and shock just happened at the very moment. What cannot be replayed is the most initial craziness and fearless.

 

影子總是變化萬端，有時好似攀附在牆壁上的巨獸，有時又像隱匿在水中的游魚。它時常變身成另一個「我」，默默地陪伴，靜靜地尾隨；也偶爾在夜晚化身長大的「我」，製造一場夢幻的相遇。這個簡單的光學現象彷彿有著無窮無盡的魔力，可以輕易掙脫市井中冗雜而壓抑的條條框框，肆意地投射在我所觸及的每一個角落。在茫茫世界中，這個強大到幾乎無所不能的夥伴，讓渺小的我不禁憧憬起未來所孕育的無數可能。

影子，是童年幻想的凝結。而今，它們一並被我漸漸遺忘。

光影的張力可以繁復再現，似曾相識的情景可以不斷模擬，然而無法找回是剎那間的驚喜與震撼，是只屬於那段歲月的，最初始的無畏與瘋狂。
