Different but Same

a project with Down Syndrome (final year project 2015)

When someone was born differently, others would see him or her as an abnormal entity and even look down on those people, for example, people with Down syndrome. I still remembered I did not know how to communicate with them naturally when I first met them. However, after getting in touch with them, I have started to change my view. 

This video installation is about a girl, Hei Hei, who has Down syndrome and showing her daily life from baby to middle age. Each picture is based on the experience I heard from the parents and my impression to Down syndrome people during my first hand research. 

She is different, but same as us.

 

當有人在身體或精神上有殘缺,便會被人戴上有色眼鏡看待,例如唐氏綜合症。我也曾低估他們的能力,但後來經深入接觸,卻改變我對他們的想法。

 

視像作品關於一位叫喜喜,患有唐氏綜合症的女孩。圖畫描繪她由出身到步入中年的生活。靈感來自不同的真實故事及我接觸後對他們的印象。
