《糖不甩 Childtopia》 by Sinje Lee
2001-2007年，我在香港居住。
這是我生命中非常重要和深刻的一段旅程。
從小看香港電影長大到參與香港電影演出，對我而言是不可思議的連結。我在這片土地上踏踏實實生活了七年，學會說廣東話、結交了無數知己好友、到街角的茶餐廳去吃A餐、到灣仔的「知粥常樂」去吃艇仔粥；為了角色，搭一個小時地鐵去學小提琴、站在銅鑼灣道路旁聽大樹說話、數著「噠噠噠」的機器聲過人行道、在南丫島騎腳踏車、冬日裡在街上的「車仔」小攤買一碗熱騰騰的生炒糯米飯。
這些日常裡的幸福烙印了我在香港的足跡。
離開香港18年後，我帶著自己的作品回來這裡。
取名「糖不甩」是因為這是香港眾人皆知的甜點，它是圓形的糯米球粒，就像這個系列的圓形孩童臉譜。
而糯米球表面上黏著甩也甩不掉的花生糖粉，就像永住在我們心中的童真。那份無價的「童真」即是初心也是一片內心深處的淨土。
透過「糖不甩」系列作品，我想把一份童真般真摯的愛送給香港。
From 2001 to 2007, I lived in Hong Kong.
This was a very important and profound journey in my life.
Growing up watching Hong Kong films and then participating in their productions created an incredible connection for me. I lived on this land for seven years, learned to speak Cantonese, made countless close friends, enjoyed meals at corner tea houses, and ate boat congee at "Congee Wonderland" in Wan Chai. For my roles, I took an hour-long subway ride to learn the violin, stood by the roadside in Causeway Bay listening to the trees, counted the "tap tap tap" of machines crossing the sidewalk, rode a bicycle on Lamma Island, and in winter bought a steaming bowl of fried sticky rice from a street stall.
These everyday moments of happiness have left their mark on my time in Hong Kong.
After leaving Hong Kong for 18 years, I returned here with my own works.
I named my piece "Glutinous Rice Balls" because it is a well-known dessert in Hong Kong, consisting of round glutinous rice balls, much like the round faces in this series.
The surface of the rice balls is coated with a sticky peanut powder that cannot be washed away, symbolizing the innocence that forever resides in our hearts. That invaluable "innocence" is both an original intention and a pure land deep within our hearts.
Through the "Glutinous Rice Balls" series, I wish to offer a sincere love, reminiscent of childhood innocence, to Hong Kong.
