《台灣眠夢》是我第一本有文字記載的出版書籍,裡面包含我平時街拍的照片、畫的插圖等作品。從小我就很喜歡記錄故事,把它們寫下來,直到長大開始會自己製作書籍之後,才漸漸想要把這些故事也納入書本裡。從小跟阿公阿嬤住,總是聽到一些街上傳來的故事,直到讀了洪醒夫的《黑面慶仔》才發現原來平常這些平易近人的故事,也可以把他們的寫得很真摯、有意義。這些故事是這幾年來從我記錄的好幾篇故事裡,挑選出來的其中9篇。他們有些是關於夢想,有些是關於記憶與遺忘,有些是童趣的小故事,他們充滿了台灣本土文化中的善念及信仰。「眠夢」為台語的作夢,我們緩緩地生活著,一年又一年,像是在夢裡一樣,不知道自己走到了哪裡去。最後不管夢想有達成與否,這共同的島夢已存放在這本書裡面,保存了大家一部分的回憶。


“Taiwan Fantasy” features stories, illustrations, and photographs I've collected over the past few years. It captures the mundane lives of the Taiwanese, they are brave, honest, and kind. Some of these people face harsh realities, but they haven’t forgotten their stories or their dreams, and continue to maintain a positive attitude toward life.

Growing up in Taiwan, I never reflected on what it means to be Taiwanese, but I’ve always enjoyed documenting stories. The stories I have kept down started from my teenage years, coming from strangers or family members. Sometimes I interviewed people on the streets, and other times I overheard conversations. This book reflects a part of the culture, it shows the people’s shared memories, dreams, and beliefs.
