The blue-shirt (lan sam’) is specifically designed by Hakkas to work in their environment, and is solely adorned with totems on the “crisscross”, an embroidered trim edge framing the lapel. Taking inspiration from this design, the artist invited her own parents as well as parents and children across Hong Kong and Taiwan to respond to the leitmotif “en’ den’”* – an interactive relationship that is paradoxical but full of love.
The work carries on wonderfully Hakka appreciation for things, using recyclable materials to compare and contrast across two generations.
Silent conversations and voiced memories are woven into an old house. The blue-shirt sash links up the differences between the two generations and channels an intergenerational collaborative power.
* en’ den’ means “we” in Hakka language

藍衫是台灣客家人適應環境的特殊服飾，唯一裝飾在領緣「闌干」上的圖騰皆有祝福之意。作品以此為靈感，藝術家邀請父母及港台兩地親子，用創作回應「恩等*」矛盾也充滿愛的互動關係。
作品延續客家惜物愛物的美好價值，以回收材料表現兩代異同，將無聲對話與有聲回憶編入老房中，以藍衫帶連結彼此的不同，串連世代傳承的共創力量。
*「恩等」是客語中「我們」的意思。
