My Mom 我的母親

2016年母親的運動神經出現問題, 逐漸失去行動力. 2017年, 剛買了一張按摩床, 晨恩和玥恩也要躺躺看.

Mom on 2022/03/19, watercolor on paper, 15 x 21 cm, 2022

Mom passed away on 2022/03/20. After 2020, because of COVID, I was not able to visit her in person. We started using video calls. These small portraits are from video screenshots.

母親過逝前一天, 她已經不能言語, 戴著氧氣管, 像是 El Greco 畫裡的聖徒凝視著, 嚮往著天堂.

母親是虔誠的佛教徒. 家裡頂樓佛廳供奉一尊觀世音菩薩, 母親朝夕膜拜. 希望如母所願, 她已到菩薩跟前灑掃讀書.
