They Say. I Say. by Po Yi Bonnie Wong

They Say.I Say. tells a story about a kid who experiences the world differently. The story portrays how the world is seen and sensed uniquely in the eyes of children who are considered hyperactive and with attention deficit. It invites the audience to understand and experience this very special, colourful and beautiful world with empathy.
The phrase ‘They Say, I Say.’ shows the conflict between what a kid constantly hears from the world, which contrasts the voice she hears inside herself. The storyline and text are inspired by my own experiences. Growing up had been a constant struggle and battle. It is a mixed experience of facing adults’ expectations, knowing how I am different, hoping to be normal and overcoming these conflicting thoughts.

来自Bonnie的小小出版物

They Say. I Say. 的故事情节和文字灵感来自于艺术家自身的成长经历。这本小书讲述了一个患有多动症及专注力失调症的小孩,以自己的方式与世界交流时的感受,以及世界在她眼中的特殊样子。

周围人的要求、期望,和他们口中那个有点不一样的自己,让儿时的她被错综复杂的声音包围着也时刻体会到世界的不可控性……成长是一场斗争,是外部世界的声音和自己内心的声音不断冲突的复杂体验。艺术家把这些抽象的感觉变成了一首小诗,也在好奇成为成年人的读者是否有着、或有过类似的感受。
