疫情初期,幾米創作了一系列描繪小孩與小屋的畫作,鼓勵大家即使宅在家裡也能互相支持。雖然疫情漸漸過去,世界卻變得越來越混亂,快樂變得難以維持。幾米以畫作傳遞希望,陪伴大家在混亂中尋找並保持快樂。快樂是什麼?是改變看待事物的角度,還是需要不斷練習?面對複雜的現代生活,快樂似乎越來越難得,但我們依然要勇敢選擇快樂,和幾米一起立下目標:不管如何,今天我要快樂!
At the start of the pandemic, Jimmy Liao created a series of artworks featuring children and small houses to encourage people to support each other even while staying at home. Although the pandemic is over, the world feels more confusing, and it is harder to feel happy. Through his art, Jimmy shares hope and helps us find and keep happiness during hard times. What is happiness? Is it seeing things in a different way or practicing every day? Life today is more complicated, and happiness can be hard to find. Together with Jimmy, let’s set a new goal: no matter what, today I decide to be happy!
