opposite

opposite 的意思是相反的，这是一张捡拾起2021到2026之间不同时间段的创作，重新整理它们，尝试保留初始的声音与勇气，并持续延展进化的一张专辑。

“相反”的想法来自两张大学做的单刷版画，这种版画可以做出两张图像相同但色彩反转的画。当我找出这些版画时，也想起了当时的处境：它们被认为是习作而不是作品。用现在的眼光看，我发现单刷版画跟那时上传在SoundCloud上的音乐处在同样的位置，就是它们都是非常原始的渴望，它们一定可以被视为是某种习作，但是我把它们发送出去给这个世界，并没有特别去想，只是在自己心中很确定的觉得这是我的作品。这几年恍恍惚惚，发现这样的想法也会被别人接收到！

随著我一直成长，现在的自己总是与过去旧时空的自己对望，这好像是做这整张专辑的过程，就像那两张色彩反转的图，是一边的人站在湖边看另一边自己的倒影。随著时间推移，我的歌词的心境也从一种想法跑到另一端，“This Land”在讲我想留下，到“Maybe it’s time to go…”，我想人永远都是矛盾的，而我一直以来都在两端之间寻找平衡点，为了将自己放在一个能喘口气的、舒服的、真正自由的空间。每个阶段的生命都不同，而opposite就像是用上这五年的时间完成的，我感觉这张专辑告诉我，让一件事物成为作品，不只在他完成之前，完成之后的时间好像也有意义。

”opposite” is an album that curates my creation during 2021 and 2026. I tried to preserve its initial sounds and spirit
while continuing expand and evolve.

The concept of “opposite” is from two pieces of monotype prints I made in the uni, they have the same image but inverted colors, when I put these two prints upside down, they formed opposing images and looked like a mirror on a surface of a lake. I realise the prints are in the same position with the music I uploaded on SoundCloud, an intuitive desire. They might be seen as studies, but I notice that these are my works. It turned out people could really feel it.

I look back to the young me a couple of times, especially during the time we making this album. It has been so long that my thoughts have changed from one side to the other, moving from talking about staying in the song ‘This Land’ towards “Maybe it’s time to go...”. I was conflicted while I constantly looked for a comfort space in between, a space of inner freedom.

Making this album “opposite” is like telling myself, not only would the meaningfulness be in the making, but it also continues to grow after the works are finished.
