失憶是因為想忘記或是不想回憶？‧Do we lose memory because we want to forget or do not want to remember?

失憶是因為想忘記或是不想回憶？已忘記還是不想記起？
記憶的終極失去，是忘了到底自己丟失了甚麼？
泥看似軟，塑造性高，但卻擁有頑強的記憶。
它會牢記每一次的觸摸，以為平伏，但經過火的洗禮，

一切曾經以為洗去的手印，經歷又一一重現。
銀看似剛硬，但經過退火，

便將從前所有的經歷一一忘掉，

一切又可以重新開始。
透過泥與銀的組合，將失去的記憶重新記錄、

保留、穩固最後尋回。

人呢？可否經過時間的洗禮將忘記的重新拆解、

重組、將不想記起的鎖上？

Do we lose memory because we want to forget

or do not want to remember?

Is it because we have forgotten or because we do not wish to recall?

The ultimate loss is forgetting what we have forgotten.
Clay is soft and very pliable. But it has firm memory.

It remembers every touch which you think has been wiped.

Through the baptism of fire handprints thought

to have been wiped out reappear.
Silver appears hard. But annealing will remove

what it has gone through. It is a complete new start.
Through the partnership of clay and silver,

we register, retain, stabilize and retrieve the memory we have lost.
What about Man? Would the baptism of time break down

and then re-group what was forgotten?

Or will it lock up what we don’t want to remember?
