「 你聽說過肚子裡會種出西瓜嗎? 」 


「 我們在香港也會這樣說。 」

黃氏近年在非母語的環境中生活,彷如小孩一樣重新學習和探索世界。語言、文化和地域的反覆切換,時而陷入迷失和語塞的狀態。而即使在非母語或母語的世界中,都感受著不同形狀的距離感,使其變得安靜,多了更純粹的感受、觀察和聆聽。眼前的世界,有時狹窄得只有原地,有時則廣闊無邊。


黃美諺,現居香港及札幌。畢業於香港浸會大學視覺藝術院,專注於繪畫及印刷物。以創作記錄日常中難忘的細節,再轉化成具敘事性的作品或有序的場景。





“ Have you ever heard about watermelons growing in your stomach? ”


“ We have a same saying in Hong Kong. ”

In recent years, Wong has been immersing herself in a non-native language environment, experiencing the world with a sense of wonder akin to that of a child. The constant shifts between languages, cultures, and places often result in feelings of disorientation and silence. Whether navigating her native or non-native linguistic landscapes, she encounters various forms of distance that cultivate moments of stillness, allowing for deeper feelings, observations, and listening. At times, the world seems to contract to the space around her, while at other moments, it expands infinitely. 


WONG MEI YIN HAZEL, based in Hong Kong and Sapporo, graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University. She focuses on painting and prints. Her work transforms unforgettable details from everyday life into narratives or sequential scenes.
