When the cherry blossoms were blooming in April, trainee illustrator Lin You and photographer Su Qing accidentally collided in front of a cafe. The moment the drawings were scattered, Su Qing peeked through the lens at the small mole behind Lin You's ear that looked like blurred watercolor, and opened the invitation of light and shadow with a glass of iced latte. Every weekend afternoon, the glass curtain wall folds their figures into misaligned diamond shapes - Lin You uses charcoal to trace Su Qing's focused profile while adjusting the aperture. Su Qing's film hides the playful freeze-frame of strawberry cream on her lips. When the plum rain soaked the window sill, Su Qing left without saying goodbye, leaving behind only twelve photos marked with polar coordinates. In the corner of the last glacier image, pencil writing solidified the blue whisper of 64° north latitude.
Three months later, at Lin You's solo exhibition, Su Qing suddenly appeared with an aura of aura. The dried cherry blossom specimen is pressed in the lower right corner of the black beach photography, forming a time-space overlap with the empty chair in Lin You's painting. When the lights in the exhibition hall dimmed, Su Qing held out the silver salt negatives washed by Icelandic glacier water. The hidden sketches, the rainy day of sharing vinyl, and the lip prints on the rim of the coffee cup were developed into silent love poems under the spotlights. The artist's love has never been declared verbally, but it has already seeped into the film emulsion and oil paint, growing in the cherry blossom rings to resonate with a heartbeat that transcends media.
Concept: Art is a silent confessor, and film and canvas become the medium of love. When the silver salt develops the lines of longing, the watercolor blurs out the unspoken feelings, and all the blank spaces are vibrating with the same heartbeat - love is the eternal freeze that will never fade when the paint blends with the light and shadow.
