「我覺得我死了很多次，但也因此復活了很多次。」 在成長的過程中，我認為每個人都死而復生過。無法被決定的出生、無行為能力的生活、無抉擇資格的青春期再到無意識有意識地過活。原生家庭的限制、校園的教條、同儕的眼光到社會的枷鎖，直到有天你似乎了解生命的遊戲規則是可以由自己的雙手建立。 “You always have a choice.” 人生就是不停地做選擇。即使這次的當下，不是你最好的時刻，我相信都能成為一個新的開始。你可以情緒波濤洶湧，也可以鬱鬱寡歡；你可以讓黑暗籠罩，也可以從中找到一束光。所有的決定都不是絕對的，但我知道你已經用最好的自己往那條出口邁進。一次次，更加地瞭解你自己。那就是最好的復活之路了。
“I feel like I’ve died many times, but in doing so, I’ve also revived countless times.” “Revive” is Wen-Hsuan Chao’s first Photobook. Wen-Hsuan believes that in the process of growing up, we all experience deaths and rebirths. From the passive birth, the adolescence devoid of agency, to unconsciously navigating through life; from family constraints, school dogma, and peer scrutiny to societal limitations, until the realization that one can establish their own rules of life. “You always have a choice.” Life is constantly about making choices. Even in the present moment, however imperfect it may be, Wen-Hsuan believes it holds the potential for a new beginning. You can ride the waves of emotion, experience joy or sorrow; you can let darkness engulf you or find a spark of light within. No choice is final, but with each one, you step out as your truest self. This ongoing journey of self-discovery is the path to resurrection.
