如果時光可以複印，最想留住的是哪一頁？有些空間對別人來說是歷史，對我而言，卻是揉進了整個童年與呼吸的私密地帶。當命運的指針轉了一圈，把我和我的鏡頭重新帶回原點，那種時空交錯的震撼，至今仍在我心頭發熱。

照片的核心，聚焦於那座擁有古典拱窗的英式廠房。對我而言，那裡曾是家人生活的軌跡，也是我童年記憶的起點。命運最奇妙的安排，莫過於在1980年代末，我帶著《GA Men fashion》的時裝團隊重返故地。在自己長大的宿舍、舊工廠及週邊，模特兒身著當時風靡的英倫雅痞服飾，在粗礪的老牆與小碼頭的石階前定格。這種將頂尖摩登拉入私人情感結構的嘗試，讓時尚褪去了高冷的防線，沾染了成長的體溫。

數十年彈指一揮間，當年的私人溫床，如今已沉澱為香港的法定歷史古蹟。
這種時間的魔術，讓這些影像擁有了多重的生命厚度。斑駁的紅磚與粗礪的石階，不僅見證了香港殖民地時代的歲月，也溫柔地包裹了我年少時的時裝夢想。新與舊、公共歷史與私密情感，在這些版面中完美交織。這部影像，是我在時光洪流中留下的錨點，轉化為我與自己成長的空間、以及那個黃金時代，進行的一場內斂而溫熱的跨時空對話。

If time could be photocopied, which page would you most want to keep? Some spaces are merely history to others, but to me, they are private territories woven into my entire childhood and every breath. When the hands of destiny came full circle, bringing me and my camera back to the starting point, the shock of that temporal interlacing still warms my heart today.

The photographs focuses on that English-style factory building with classical arched windows. To me, it was once the trajectory of my family’s life and the starting point of my childhood memories. The most miraculous arrangement of fate was none other than in the late 1980s, when I brought the fashion team of GA Men fashion back to this old ground. In the dormitories where I grew up, the old factory, and its surroundings, models dressed in the then-popular British yuppie attire posed before the coarse old walls and the stone steps of the small pier. This attempt to pull top-tier modernity into a private emotional structure allowed fashion to shed its cold, aloof defense and become touched by the warmth of growing up.

Decades passed in the blink of an eye, and the private cradle of yesteryear has now settled into a declared monument of Hong Kong.
This magic of time gives these images multiple layers of life's depth. The mottled red bricks and coarse stone steps not only witnessed the colonial era of Hong Kong but also gently enveloped my youthful fashion dreams. The new and the old, public history and private emotion, interweave perfectly across these pages. This visual work is an anchor I have left in the torrent of time, transformed into an understated and warm cross-temporal dialogue with the space of my upbringing and that golden age.

小艇、摯友與童年的海 The Skiff, A Childhood Friend, and Our Sea

在灣仔藍屋出生後，我隨家人搬進赤柱大潭道的廠房宿舍。照片裡，我和兒時摯友並肩坐在家樓下的快艇上，留下了這張珍貴的童年合照。

Born in Wan Chai’s Blue House, I later moved with my family to a factory dormitory on Tai Tam Road in Stanley. In this photo, my childhood friend and I sit side-by-side on a speedboat right below our home, capturing a precious memory of our youth.
