In this issue, the author discusses housing issues through artworks from the NCAF archive, using British journalist Kieran Yates’ "slug metaphor" to describe a sense of helplessness. This reminded me of the cardboard boxes used by unhoused people for shelter. In those tiny spaces, do they also dream of a real home with walls and windows? To me, the cardboard box is an iconic and powerful symbol of temporary living. I use this symbol to show how people dream of a better future, even from within a fragile shelter.
本期的文章作者，從關注居住議題的藝術創作中提出討論，並以英國記者 Kieran Yates 著作裡的蛞蝓比喻，摘句總結出無可奈何的乏力。我想起路上的無家者總以紙箱遮風避雨，在那狹小的空間裡，他們是否也夢想著有牆、有窗、有屋頂的居所？這也是居所的經典符號，所以這次用紙箱譬喻暫時的住處，在那裡塗繪未來的夢。
