《 P A R C E L 》
包裹

《 parcel 》是一个非常个人化的项目，它的诞生来源于我的生活经历。
我一直是一个没有家庭归属感的人，八岁开始一个人离开家和母亲去外地上学，与家庭唯一的桥梁就是母亲一直以来给我寄来的各种快递。母亲从那时候就开始用快递这种独特的方式来表达对我的爱以及对我的照顾。

"Parcel" is a deeply personal project born from my own life experiences.
I have always felt a lack of a sense of belonging to a family. Since the age of eight, I left home and my mother to study in another city, and the only bridge connecting me to my family has been the countless parcels my mother has sent me over the years.
Through these parcels, my mother found a unique way to express her love and care for me.

快递对我而言就好比母爱和归属感，就好像母亲一直跟随着我。项目中我站在“没有家庭归属感”的视角下，以妈妈多年给我寄快递的记忆为灵感进行创作。

利用书籍和装置，记录我一直在外漂泊的经历，寻找家庭归属感的过程和提供母亲一直以来对我关爱的佐证。在这样的情况下，快递就具有完全不同意义，它不再普通而是我与家的链接，是家庭爱我的证据。

To me, parcels symbolize maternal love and a sense of home. It feels as though my mother has always been with me through them. In this project, I approach the theme from the perspective of someone without a strong sense of family belonging, drawing inspiration from the memory of the packages my mother sent over the years.

Through books and installations, I document my experience of drifting from place to place, my search for a sense of home, and the tangible proof of my mother's unwavering love and care. In this context, the parcel takes on an entirely new meaning. It’s no longer just an ordinary object—it becomes a link to home, a testament to familial love.

视觉标准 VISUAL CRITERIA

在视觉语言方面，我从母亲寄给我的快递盒和运单中提取了大量视觉符号，并将其应用到了这本书中，包括字体风格的选择。
书籍的单页尺寸大小，与快递单的大小比例相同；开页尺寸与快的信封大小相等。

In terms of visual language, I extracted a large number of visual symbols from the express boxes and waybill sent to me by my mother and applied them to this book, including the choice of font style.
The closed size ofthe book. Samepercentage as the express bill. The book was spread out close to the size of a Courier envelope.

书籍设计 BOOK DESIGN

装置艺术 ART DEVICE

在设计和整理完书籍之后，我似乎寻找到了自己对家庭的归属感，也更加理解了母亲对我的爱和照顾。
母亲希望通过她的“邮件艺术”告诉我，她一直努力在跟着我。通过这个装置，我也想展示快递作为我和我的家之间的桥梁的作用。
表达这样一个日常用品在我心中的独特能量，我希望给快递重新赋能。

After designing and organizing the books, I firmly found a sense of belonging to my family and better understood my mother's love and care for me.Mother hopes to tell me through her “Mail art” that she seems to have been following me all along. And through this device,I also want to demonstrate the role of express delivery as a bridge between me and my home.

Expressing the unique energy of such a daily item in my heart, I hope to re empower express delivery.

“西西弗斯般前行”

母亲对我的爱总是在路上，就像在装置中的包裹。虽然传递这种爱的道路是艰难的，但它总是在前进。
对我来说，我总是想要到达我的目的地，但无论我如何滚动。
就像作品中的包装一样，似乎与“家”总是有一段距离。就像西西弗斯的石球永远不会到达山顶。

“Go on like Sisyphus”

My mother's love for me is always on the road, just like the package stuck onthe road in this work. Although the path of conveying this love is difficult, itis always moving forward..

For me, I always want to reach my destination, but no matter how I scroll.like the package in the work, it seems that there is always a distance from"home". Just like Sisyphus' stone ball never reaches the top ofthe mountain.
