很高興再次受到香港和聲的邀請,為他們十一月舉辦的音樂會設計主視覺,這次音樂會的主題是《思別Farewell》。自古以來人類渴求連結,於後疫情時代尤甚,但連結卻必然隨無可逃避的死亡而終結。生死意義教人深思,而哲學家則以最大的勇氣,嘗試理解死亡。
這次接案的最大挑戰,是主視覺除了需要表現出人與人之間離別時所產生的愁緒,同時也希望留有希望,而非一面倒的呈現單一情感。生死離別是我們無法逃避的事,我們之所以對此會有所觸動,往往是出於人類最基本的感性,因此這次的設計方向,也是以顏色、氛圍等感覺先導的元素為先,而創意則放在資料內容的編排上。選上蒲公英作為這次的主視覺,是覺得蒲公英的週期跟人的生命很像,雖然與我們相關的記憶或許會隨著時間而消逝,但卻並非完全消失,我們的意志、信念和智慧將會被後人繼承,以另一種方式繼續存活下去,蒲公英的種子會飛得很遠,會隨著風向和各種因素飄到他們適合的位置,人的信念都一樣。
We are excited to be invited again by the Hong Kong Voices to design the main visual for their November concert, themed "Farewell." Throughout history, humanity has yearned for connection, especially in the post-pandemic era, but these connections inevitably end with death. The meaning of life and death prompts deep reflection.
The challenge for this design is to express the sorrow of separation while also conveying hope. Since death and separation are unavoidable, our emotional responses come from our basic humanity. Therefore, the design will focus on color and atmosphere, with creativity in content arrangement.
I chose the dandelion as the main visual because its life cycle resembles that of humans. While memories may fade over time, they don’t completely disappear. Our beliefs and wisdom will be inherited by future generations, much like how dandelion seeds are carried by the wind to new places.
