《Englishman in New York: A Legal Alien》以 Sting 的經典歌曲為靈感,透過金屬研磨技法轉化為視覺敘事。作品中央的外星人象徵在城市中成為「局外人」的感受——孤獨,卻依然坦然做自己。
背景中若隱若現的 “I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien”,呼應了歸屬與疏離之間的矛盾。
作品在寫實與抽象間取得平衡,引導觀者探索身份、獨特性與勇於與眾不同的情感。
它延伸了歌曲永恆的主題:「做你自己,不管別人怎麼說。」Englishman in New York: A Legal Alien takes inspiration from Sting’s iconic song, transforming its themes into a metal-ground artwork. At the center stands an alien figure, symbolizing the feeling of being an outsider in a bustling city—alone, yet confidently true to oneself.
The phrase “I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien” appears faintly in the background, hinting at the tension between belonging and estrangement.
Balancing realism with abstraction, the piece invites viewers to explore the emotions behind identity, individuality, and the courage to stand apart.
It echoes the song’s timeless message: “Be yourself, no matter what they say.”
