A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over

by Yu-Jun LIN

Late mornings and sleepless nights. Frustration. Anxiety.

They seem to have infiltrated our consciousness and entered our dreams. We recognize the shape of eaves, the folding line of streets, and return to our dwelling coordinates where we hide and live. We see restless men and women in full feather wandering through the brightly-lit city and then sitting shoulder to shoulder with countless strangers, between countless walls.

In the 1970s, urbanism started paving its way into Taiwan. Bidding farewell to the landscape of an agricultural society, life thus became crowded and repressive in cities. The meaning of “urbanism” does not merely lie in towering skyscrapers but in altered landscapes, living conditions, isolation and loneliness as well as increasingly complex social issues. Submerged in the capitalist system, every person has been assumed as a tiny component, whose labor force is needed by the whole mechanism, but not with one’s individuality as well.

However, the construction of liberalism constantly reminds us of our own subjectivity, along with the importance of being viewed as a whole. Such contradictory values leads to extreme unease and confusion that keeps building up and ceaselessly floods our minds with external chaos. As worries that never subside loom over us, we are forced to retreat to our dwellings, where we are perfectly alone, and safe. We can uninhibitedly be ourselves – yet under the lingering dark cloud of sorrows.

Frustrating questions as “Who am I?” seem to return in lonesome nights, invariably. When night falls, myriads of dazzling lights glisten in innumerous windows at the near distance. Gazing into the dreamlike, transient light, we recall things we hope to seal for good in our troubled mind. We question again and again, about what role we should be playing to integrate into the society but still maintain the integrity of our own subjectivity.

A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over features eight selected pieces and delineates the question of how people, as individuals, should coexist with others, a question deriving from urbanites’ perceptual conflicts experiences.

Zheng Er Qi | People
“People” mirrors the phenomenon of Taiwan’s transition from being an agricultural society to city since 1970. It precisely portrays everyday urbanity that people nowadays are familiar with: Although millions of people reside on one spot, their recognition of one another fails to grow with urbanization, despite the presumable nearness.

Chung Chih Ting｜I Am by Your Side
With the explanation by an offscreen sound and the roleplay image, “I Am by Your Side” depicts how urbanites try to be in company, revealing people’s natural urge for social connection. Yet it ends up to be talking to oneself or pointless mumbles, simply a futility of communication.

Wu Bo Sian | Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile
In the video, the chimpanzees form a spectacle, say, abnormality, in a seemingly normal context. “Chimps with Mona Lisa’s Smile” is a response to conflicts between public administration and individual freedom, zooming in on the contradictions or constraints between all the intervenable and the non-intervenable in everyday scenes.

Wang Ding Yeh | One-One
“One-One” depicts how people try to maintain an intact, rational space of survival while sometimes fail to avoid transgressing, under limited resources in a highly competitive society. With much precision, it captures the specific default interpersonal distance, and poses the question: How should each person navigate to find the best living posture at the moment?

Tsai Jie | When the Dust Settles
“When the Dust Settles” shows people restlessly beating on a possible exit to get out. However, does such an exit really exist? Or is it simply a delusion stemming from one’s untamable impetuosity? The work reflects the desolation of men and women, who are rumbustious, but aimless.

Huan Yen Chiao | 1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?
Fish in the bowl resembles people trapped in cities: extravagant outfits, splashing neon lights; sensational visual effects indeed. “1, 2, 3. Are You Already in Hiding, Fish?” presents how people escape from their anxiety and weariness for the time being. The work highlights the entire incompatibility and a sense of solitude after one’s subjectivity is highly developed.

Wong Shu Lian | I found myself floating and sinking down once in a while
The work addresses the enduring controversy between liberalism and capitalism that have been engendering people’s inner conflicts. It captures one’s self-doubt and angst in a profound way while, by exploring how to determine one’s best position, raises the ultimate question – Who are we after all?

Chen Chia Jen | SWEETWATER
“SWEETWATER” was born under Chen’s reflections during his artistinresidence experience in Southeast Asia. Between people living in urban and rural areas, there is a grand difference of perspectives, regarding how to survive and live a good life. It implies the fact that the widely-recognized future image, constructed by our society, might not be as clear or real as it seems, or perhaps what people accepted is simply a vague, even somehow out-of-focus, prospect.

Thank you dear Martha for this Amazon review of my book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”!

About the book:

One day when I was singing praises to God, an image floated up in my spirit: a big and beautiful sandcastle being washed away by the waves from the sea. God was teaching me the futility of holding tightly onto worldly possessions because like the sandcastle, they won't last, and one day will cease to exist.

He taught me from His word to focus on Him and by doing so, I would reap great eternal rewards before Jesus' throne at the start of the Millennium. These rewards will last forever and can't be destroyed or stolen.

It is my prayer that the revelations in this book will help you to live with a focus on the things above where God is, fulfill your God-given calling in life, be happier and to accumulate more eternal rewards to your account.

In this book, you will learn about:

- Heavenly investment advice and the futility of worldly pursuits from a trillionaire in the Bible

- Why God has to reward us in order to be righteous

- When and how God will destroy the current earth and sky to make way for new ones

- The types of fireproof works that earn eternal rewards at the end of time

- The abundant rewards of doing good works while abiding by the non-disclosure agreement between God and you

- The difference between the temporary places of torment: Sheol and Abaddon

- Who is the Antichrist and his name revealed in the Bible

- What is the Mark of the Beast and why it disqualifies its recipients from receiving salvation

- The different judgments at the throne of Jesus Christ and what it means for you as a believer

- How to fulfill your calling and maximize your gifts to receive the best eternal rewards

As Martha said, I believe that the revelation in this book was given “for such a time as this”. Jesus’ return is so close, and we need to be thinking about the eternal impact of our lives. This book will do exactly that for you!

我1989買這個道奇隊⚾️的球衣。等了31年，我們終於是世界冠軍🏆！
I bought this jersey in 1989 after the Dodgers won their last World Series in 1988. I’ve worn it to every game I’ve gone to at Dodgers stadium since then. I also wear it every time I watch a Dodgers game at home and it’s been with me thru thick and thin. If you are a diehard sports fan, than you know fandom really hurts. Cuz there’s only one team standing at the end of every year. After 32 tough years, we are finally! finally! that team last team standing😭😭 Congrats to my boys in blue, u guys played your hearts out in this most difficult of years and hats off to the Rays. Most importantly, congrats to all the true blue Dodgers fans that have weathered the past three decades of futility💪🏻

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
幻に怯えている
誰かの声飛び散る今
置き去りの衝動がほら
寂しそうに枯れていく

私は今日誰になって　君の中で壊れていく？
届けば届くほどに

虚しさに気づかされた
幻の残酷さを

ありふれた奇跡　その儚さが
裸の私の意味を締め付ける

私は今日誰になって　君の中で溺れていく？
届けば届くほどに

広がる視界に心は狭くなって
広がる世界を不安が満たした
広がる視界に心は居なくて
怯えた私の声は今も聞こえていますか

私を見て　幻じゃなくて
私を見て　奇跡じゃなくて
曝け出しても　裸じゃなくて
生み出しても　産み出しても
私じゃなくて怖いよ

羽ばたけるかな

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
畏怯幻影的形跡
某人的聲音，如今正飛散消逝
你瞧，種種背棄在後的衝動
那份，孤寂落寞、乾涸枯萎的慘狀

「今日我又將以何等姿態，於你心頭潰爛？」
越是接近你，越於你心中逐漸分崩離析

如今才因種種空虛憶起
空有的幻想，是多麼殘酷無情

誰都能夢見隨處可見的奇蹟，多麼華而不實
賦予身無一物的我名為「生存意義」的枷鎖

「今日我又將以何等姿態，於你的心中沉淪呢？」
越是接近你，越是陷溺其中

放遠的視野中，卻伴著狹隘閉鎖的內心
廣闊的世界中，卻堆砌滿溢著焦慮不安
開闊的眼界中，惟不見一絲情感殘留
你是否仍能聽見，我那膽怯顫抖的聲音呢？

請你看著我吧，證明我既非幻影
請你看著我吧，證明我亦非奇蹟
即使曝光所有一切，也並非一無所有
但即使降生於世、歷經無數次重生——
「卻都無法成為我自己啊，我好害怕......」

這樣的我，終能展翅翱翔嗎？

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
I’m fearing an illusion. At this moment, someone’s voice flies about.
My abandoned urges, you see… wither away so lonesomely.

Who will I become today… in order to break apart inside you?
The further and further I reach-

The futility of it all made me realize the cruelty of that illusion.

The fickle nature of common miracles
Constricts the meaning of my naked form.

Who will I become today… in order to drown inside you?
The further and further I reach-

Amid an expanding view, my mind grows narrow-
Amid an expanding world, my uneasiness came to fruition.
Amid an expanding view, my mind is nowhere to be found-
Can you still hear my frightened voice, even now?

Look at me, not that illusion.
Look at me, not those miracles.
Even if I’m exposed, I won’t be naked.
Even if I recreate myself… recreate myself…
I won’t be me; I’m so afraid.

I wonder if I can still flap these wings…

The Portland Trail Blazers are finding the road more enjoyable lately.

Brandon Roy had 26 points and 11 assists and Channing Frye scored a season-high 20 points as Portland beat the Denver Nuggets 116-105 on Sunday night.

It was the Blazers' seventh straight win overall, and third straight victory on the road, where they had lost their first nine games of the season.

"We don't feel invincible, we feel comfortable and confident," Roy said. "Winning on the road is a sign of maturity."

Portland also ended a stretch of futility in Denver. The Blazers got their first win in Denver since Feb. 26, 2003, and snapped the Nuggets' nine-game home winning streak against Portland. Denver had won 15 of the last 17 meetings at home dating back to the 1999-2000 season.

"We've dropped a lot of monkeys this month," said Portland head coach Nate McMillan, whose team has beaten Utah twice in the past week.

The Blazers ended their losing ways in Denver with some hot shooting. They hit 55 percent of their shots, including a 10-for-13 performance by Frye.

"From the beginning to the end of the game they beat us up and down the court and did whatever they wanted to do on the offensive end," said Allen Iverson, who led Denver with 38 points. "They're playing with a lot of confidence having already won six in a row, and they just brought that momentum into here and they whipped us."

The Nuggets were hot early but cooled off in the second half when the Blazers stretched their 12-point halftime lead to 19 heading into the fourth quarter.

"We are getting shots from the work of other people," Frye said. "People are driving to the basket and leaving other people open. That's what is happening."

Carmelo Anthony struggled from the field again and finished with 19 points on 6-of-17 shooting, and Kenyon Martin had 14 for the Nuggets, who have lost two straight after a three-game winning streak.

The Nuggets trailed by as many as 21 before closing the gap in the fourth quarter. Iverson scored 16 points in the period, including a 3-pointer that cut the lead to 103-91 with 6:39 left.

The Blazers responded with a run of their own. Roy hit two layups and Travis Outlaw, who had 17 points, hit a couple of jumpers to increase the lead to 115-97 with 2:26 remaining.

"We expected we would be a good-shooting team from the start of the season," McMillan said. "We've been shooting the ball well during this stretch."

Portland made 58 percent of its shots in the first half and stayed hot from the field at the start of the third quarter. The Blazers went on an 11-0 run early in the second half -- capped by a 3-pointer from Steve Blake -- to extend their lead to 72-52 with 8:22 left.

"This team's been shooting the ball extremely well," Nuggets head coach George Karl said. "They've been finding a hot shooter almost every night."

Early, it was Frye who was hot. The forward scored 14 points on 7-for-8 shooting in the first quarter, and he also pulled down five rebounds for Portland, which took a 30-25 lead heading into the second quarter.

"Frye has shot the ball well the whole season," McMillan said. "Tonight he was on fire. He knocked down everything."

Game notes
The Nuggets had to move to the visitors locker room because of a fire in their locker room early Sunday morning. Karl said a dryer "blew up" in the home locker room around 2 a.m., and the fire department came in to put out a small fire. Karl said it could take up to two weeks for the water damage from the firemen's hoses to be repaired. In the meantime, road teams will use the NHL's visiting locker room. ... Blazers F LaMarcus Aldridge (plantar fasciitis) missed his fourth straight game. ... Portland had six players score in double figures. ... Roy's 11 assists tied a career high. The only other time he had 11 assists was Feb. 2, 2007, in Denver.
