創作自述：
新冠病毒，最直接的影響大概是人際間的「接觸」與「距離」。實體接觸變少，相對在網路視訊等接觸大量增加；實體空間的距離變遠，相對在網路虛擬實境的距離又似乎更接近。疫情雖然帶來很多不便與失落，但也是機會重新檢視生活、與他人的關係、價值觀、甚至生命的意義。
這個時代，資訊與知識都豐富易得，我們不缺乏。但今人與古人一樣，面對生死離流，都深感欠缺超越性智慧，而只有更偉大的主宰才有。
這次展覽，嘗試表達後疫情時代的「新態度」，也可能是我們遺忘了的東西，彷彿提醒我們要與大自然的一切和平共處，面對收獲、自然災害或各種紛爭，要超越困境的法則，不是把自己的利益放在首位去爭取，而是彼此合作，在群體中找到自己可貢獻的事，互相協助去追尋更好的利益。喚起內在「行公義，好憐憫，存謙卑的心」，以各種方式實現「平和」的境界，總可找到答案。
「疫情過後」是等待，是盼望，可能也是一種突破與跨越。
或許，2022就是後疫情時代。當我們重新開始生活、重新與人連結的時候，記住，是人與人之間的和諧、感恩、尊重，每個人都為世界的美好多行一步，才會讓「新的常態」過得更好。
Creative Concept：
“Social Touch” and “Social Distancing” between all human beings have probably been having the most impact during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Actual face-to-face touch decreased, while online interaction or facetime touch has soared. Actual distance became farther apart, whereas virtual or online distance seemed so near. The pandemic brought along inconvenience and loss, it is yet a chance for us to review our life, the relationship with others, our values and even the meaning of life.
In the modern decades, information and knowledge are vast and handy, we are never short of these things. Nevertheless, when coming to life and death, separation and loss, modern people, who are the same as the ancient people, oftentimes are deprived of the spiritual transcendence wisdom which is probably possessed by some Higher Power.
In this exhibition, Carol tries to convey a “new attitude”, which might be something that we have forgotten after the pandemic. Reminding us that we have to make peace with what nature has given to us. Upon harvest, natural disasters or all kinds of disputes, putting one’s own benefits in priority are not solutions to these circumstances, indeed we should be working together as well as finding one’s own contribution among the crowds, helping each other in pursuit of better mutual interests. Answers are wherein we sort out the state of peace in all ways, with “justice, mercy and humbleness” at heart.
The term “Post Pandemic” is an anticipation, an aspiration, or maybe a break-through or overcomer.
Perhaps 2022 is the “post pandemic” decade. When we restart our daily lives again, reconnect with other people again, remember, we could have a better”new normal” when everyone is making a little step for a better world.
施明珠，80後，出生於中國福建，是一名澳門本地的平面設計師。從小就喜歡畫畫及平面設計，所以長大後就成為一位平面設計師和畫畫老師。繪畫風格多以鮮艷色彩和幾何圖案相結合，作品多以電腦繪畫為主，另外也通過使用水彩、素描、油畫等去創作藝術作品，主題多以歡樂及喜悅的風格表達，希望藉此為觀眾帶來美好的心靈洗滌及增添生活的藝術色彩。
近年開辦了兒童繪畫工作室，同時兼任藝術教育的工作，教授及啟發兒童的藝術創作思維，引領更多孩子踏上快樂而有收獲的藝術學習之旅，並讓他們感受藝術上所帶來的趣味，從而提高學習的多樣性。此外，也積極參與方舟藝術學會舉辦的活動，當中包括『融和』及『新時代』的聯展，透過展示作品與會員們進行藝術學習和交流，增強不同藝術領域的深度，從而塑造更好的自己。
創作自述：
從2020年初開始，新冠肺炎突然爆發，以本世紀前所未見的疾速席捲全球，一場疫情砸入我們原本平靜的生活，人與人之間的正常社交接觸變得危險，恐懼、擔憂、口罩將人與人之間的距離拉遠，我們看不清楚彼此，每個人的眼神都變得小心翼翼，從個體到社會，從國家到世界，我們的連接一步一步逐漸被凍結了。
我們不知道疫情什麼時候完結，能不能回到疫情前的那個世界，回復以前的生活，但我們現在必需活於當下，感恩疫情中總有人替我們負重前行。為了陽光再次亮起、為了讓人與人之間的距離不再被口罩拉遠，我們互相協助，用生命點燃生命，我們滿懷期待，很快我們將會摘下口罩， 和愛的人到處旅遊，享受歡樂的時間。
作者希望透過是次的作品展覽，向觀眾傳遞無限的希望及正能量，讓每位觀眾都能從作品中的視覺和精神層面，感受到「希望、快樂和愛」。只要堅持積極樂觀的心態面對生活，所謂「風雨過後總會遇見彩虹」、「希望在明天」，我們相信在不久的將來，疫情消散，人們安居樂業，幸福美滿。
最後，作者希望藉著是次的藝術展覽來療癒觀眾的心靈，讓藝術增添他們生活的色彩。
Creative Concept：
Since the beginning of 2020, the sudden outbreak of the new coronary pneumonia has swept the world at a rapid pace unseen in this century. An epidemic has smashed into our originally peaceful life, and normal social contact between people has become dangerous. Fear, Worry, Masks make the distance between people farther, we can’t see each others clearly, everyone’s eyes become cautious, from individual to society, from country to world, our connection is gradually frozen step by step.
We don’t know when the pandemic will end, whether we can return to the world before the pandemic and return to our previous life, but we must live in the present now. We are grateful that there are always people who are carrying the burden for us during this outbreak.
In order for the sun to light up again, in order that the distance between people will no longer be pulled away by masks, we support each other and ignite each life with our lives. We are full of expectations and will take off our masks soon, travel around and spend great time with loved ones.
The author hopes to convey infinite hope and positive energy to the audience through this exhibition of works, so that every audience can feel “hope, happiness and love” from the visual and spiritual aspects of the works. As long as we face life with a positive and optimistic attitude, the so-called “Rainbow Will Always Meet A Rainbow” and “Hope Is Tomorrow”. We believe that in the near future, the pandemic will dissipate, people will live and work in peace and contentment.
Finally, author hopes that this art exhibition will heal the audiences’ minds and let art create colors to their lives.
