濱海灣花園的母與子雕塑

2021.12.19

濱海灣花園(Gardens by the bay)步道上，小椰林間的這座母與子雕像，吸引了我的注意。

題材常見，但是深邃的五官、魚鰭狀的雙耳、比例上顯得異常大的手掌、和人魚般卻又似被束縛了雙腳的姿態，帶給我強烈的神話感，觸動我的內心，令我難忘。

"Humanity, yes, life itself is my main inspiration... Humanity begins with the family, parents and children, their upbringing and relationships. So the mother and child theme has been very prominent in my work.

I look on the whole emotional aspect of mankind. The struggle, the heartache, the love, the hatred and bitterness of life; all this [is expressed] with mother and child..."
