裝置藝術/雕塑--藝術家Sayaka Ganz讓廢棄物擁有靈魂

        日本神道教的萬物有靈哲學伴隨著我的成長，他們相信世界萬物皆有其靈性。因此，當我在街上或舊貨商店的貨架上看到丟棄的物品時，我為他們感到深深的悲傷，我被這些傷感的情緒驅使著決定去做一些事情讓這些被丟棄的物品開心起來。

        I grew up with Shinto animist belief that all things in the world have spirits. Thus, when I see discarded items on the street or thrift store shelves, I feel a deep sadness for them and I am moved to make these abandoned objects happy. 

        不管材料如何，我同情所有丟棄的物體，但我目前選擇的工作材料是塑料。我主要用普通的家用物品來制造動物形體，具有運動意識和自我意識。我使用塑料是因為各種曲線形式和顏色。我用畫筆把它們組合在一起，創造出類似于梵高繪畫的三個維度的效果。

        My sympathy goes out equally to all discarded objects regardless of materials, but my current working material of choice is plastic. I use mostly common household items to create animal forms with a sense of movement and self-awareness. I use plastics because of the variety of curvilinear forms and colors available. I manipulate and assemble them together as brush strokes to create an effect similar to a Van Gogh painting in three dimensions. 

        當代藝術家的重要任務之一是把更多的自然世界重新融入人們的生活中，尤其是在城市地區。當我們遇到真正的自然奇觀，我們看見美超越我們的智力，直接到達我們的心。我希望觀眾對我的作品給予類似的回應，以激起對我們與自然世界關系的重新審視。
        One of the important tasks for artists of our time is to bring more of the natural world back into people’s lives, especially in urban areas. When we encounter the true wonders of nature, the beauty we behold transcends our intellects and reaches directly to our hearts. I desire a similar response from viewers of my work; to provoke a re-examination of our relationship to the natural world. 

        我相信根據我們自己的生態足印很難對未來進行長遠的思考。我們的預測常常是錯誤的，沒有任何擔保可以為任何一個人的未來做一個保障。我不想譴責使用塑料或我們希望生活更加便利。然而，我們必須知道，便利有隱藏的成本。
        I believe the best way for artists to help reduce waste is to show how beautiful these materials can be, and what can be done with these mundane objects and materials. When we think of these things as beautiful, we value them. If we value our resources we will waste less. 

        我相信藝術家們幫助減少浪費的最好方法是展示這些材料有多漂亮，以及用這些普通的物品和材料做些什么。當我們認為這些東西是美的，我們就珍視它們。如果我們重視我們的資源，我們就會減少浪費。
