Karena Lam's Voyages🦄✨👁🦄✨👁
┈
自小察覺與人相異在那些敏感的知覺，「有段時間會想把它合上。」然而後來知道，這些敏感人人不同，像一根獨有的觸角。「我怎樣去撿起裡面很細微的東西，讓它放在創作與日常裡呢。反而便不再害怕，會容許自己脆弱。」
就讓自己被看見裡面的柔軟。
在變成母親後，從女兒身上看見自由是那樣真實，把自己遺留在兒時對很多第一次驚奇的眼睛都喚醒。「陪伴她們成長讓我覺得我再次成長了。有一張寶麗萊是大女兒第一次去沙灘，沙子是那樣一顆顆，她第一次有刺刺的感覺，結果她就那樣站著不動。」
.
Since childhood, Karena has noticed how she is different from the people around her — being way more sensitive and perceptive. “For a while I just wanted to shut it down.” It wasn’t until later that she realized that sensitivity varies from person to person, as if everyone has an antenna that is unique to them. “When I think about how I can pick up the very subtle things and put them into my work and daily life, I am not scared anymore, and allow myself to be vulnerable.”
Let the softness inside you be seen.
After becoming a mother, Karena gets to feel the genuine existence of freedom in her daughters. The long gone curiosity and desire to probe and explore came back to Karena once again. “I feel like I am growing with my kids. I had a Polaroid that captured my eldest girl’s first trip to the beach. The sand must have given her this tingling feeling which she had never felt before. She stood still just like that.”
