Deer Gentleman Matai and Bird Polk

Deer Gentleman Matai is a specimen who greatly admires Bird Polk’s ability to fly freely. Polk comes and rests on Matai’s antlers and tells him interesting stories out there everyday. However, as the admiration turns into envy, the smile on Matai’s look starts to change...

Artist’s word: You can choose either to be bounded by the social norms like the deer or to be as freely as the bird. 

Secret: Actually, the deer is a goat that resembles a deer. You can see the real him by taking off his antlers and looking from a distance. Like an old said: Don’t judge a book by its cover too soon.

夥伴 / 紳士鹿瑪泰與鳥兒波克

Partner / Deer Gentleman Matai and Bird Polk

紳士鹿瑪泰，是一個標本，它每天都很羨慕在空中自由自在的鳥兒波克，

波克每天都來到瑪泰的鹿角上，和它說著外界發生的趣事，但漸漸的瑪泰的羨慕之情轉變成了忌妒，表情也一天天從開心慢慢的變成另一種樣貌。

 

藝術家的話:如同我們羨慕著別人的生活與自由，這種無法改變的無力感，讓每個人就如同紳士鹿一樣無法離開這社會規則，如何有勇氣不當社會的標本，而要變成跟小鳥一樣自在，我想這只有我們心中才知道答案。

 

創作小祕密:其實紳士鹿瑪泰，只是一隻很像鹿的羊，各位把鹿角拿掉之後再遠一點看看他，就會查覺到這個視覺的騙術。為何要有這樣的創作概念在裡面呢?

我們想告訴大家，我們太常對一件事情只看到表面或是一些概述，就輕易的對這些人事物做判斷，輕易的評斷別人，這樣的事情一再發生，只會讓誤會越來越多。
