跷跷板
Seesaw
我在寻找
I’m searching
仍然在寻找，一个属于我的地方
Still searching, a place for me
一个能接纳我的地方
A place where I can fit in
事实上
Actually
我们是一样的
We are the same
但你没有发现
But you don’t see it
为什么你看不到？
Why can’t you see?
就算我们样貌不同
Even if we look unalike
不要再无视我！
Stop ignoring me!
我在呼唤你，请倾听我的声音
I’m calling out, please hear my voice
请不要伤害我
Please don’t hurt me
我想被爱，和你一样
I want to be loved, like you too
为什么当我是空气
Why treat me like air
好似透明不存在的
Invisible
我是有价值的
I have value
我是值得的
I am worthy
和你一样
Just like you
我拥有比你能看到的更多
I’m more than what you could see
像一个跷跷板
Like a seesaw
我左右摇晃
I’m rocking left and right
什么时候才能站稳？
When can I stand firmly?
我在颤抖，请抬我下来
I’m aching, please lift me off
厌倦了平衡
Tired of balancing
我的中心点
My middle ground
但我不想坠落
But I don’t want to fall
不要让我选择
Don’t let me choose
我负担不起失去任一边
I can’t afford losing any sides
我是所有
I am both
我是全部
I am all
跷跷板断了
The seesaw breaks
奥莉维亚·辛克莱的实践探索了作为一个多元文化人物的身份被我们社会有所忽视背后的现实。在《跷跷板》中，艺术家想表达自己的孤独，疏离，童年的创伤经历，在不同文化之间找到平衡，努力让双方不排斥自己，并寻找属于自己的地方。她通过一段短影像来表达她的作品，翻阅相册照片，以这首诗作为故事情节，用英语和普通话朗读，并附上字幕。该视频将向观看者呈现艺术家的非常私人和亲密的关系体验。
Olivia Sinclair’s practice explores the reality behind her identity as a multi-cultural person that might be over looked by our society. In Seesaw the artist wants to express her own experiences of loneliness, alienation, childhood trauma, the struggle of finding a balance between her cultures to feel not left out on either sides and finding a place that she felt belonged to. She expressed her work through a short video, flipping through the photo collage album, using the poem as the storyline, reading it in both English and Mandarin and having subtitles underneath. The video would present to the viewers a very personal and intimate relationship experience from the artist.
