在Hf首個線上藝術展覽《LOVE IS LOVE》,我們特別邀請到CASA OF LOVE創辦人Kayla Wong(王曼喜)參與展出她的攝影作品。Kayla於2015年成立公平貿易的時裝品牌Basics for Basics,除此以外她同時積極推動香港LGBTQI+社群的發展;以攝影師的身份,盡力描繪這個群體的故事,因為她相信:「我們都是一樣的。我們都渴望愛的溫暖,每一種愛都不應被歧視。」。而Kayla對攝影的鍾愛,原來是源自一段美好的童年記憶!這次,我們與Kayla談談愛,說說攝影。

HF:請用一句介紹自己。
K:我叫Kayla,是可持續時裝品牌Basics for Basics的創辦人及創意總監。
My name is Kayla and I’m the founder and creative director of sustainable fashion brand Basics for Basics.
HF:你的性取向是什麼?
K:我是一位同性戀者。
I identify myself as a Lesbian.
HF:對你而言,「身份」一詞代表什麼?
K:「身份」是透過自我感知,找到塑造自我的核心價值。
Identity is how you perceive yourself. The core values that make up who you are.
HF:在生活裡,「藝術」對你來說意味著什麼?
K:藝術是無形、流動的狀態,是一個媒介。人透過藝術跨越安舒區,以另一個方式認識自己的生命旅程。
It is a free form that allows anyone to step out of their comfort zone and to find alternative ways for people to understand their journey.


HF:你是如何開始攝影?
K:從小看著爸爸為我們拍照,慢慢培養了攝影的興趣。現在我透過鏡頭訴說彩虹群體裡女性的故事。
I started at a young age watching my dad shoot us all the time. Now my purpose is to tell the stories of the LGBTQ community focusing on women.
HF:對你而言,「愛」一詞代表什麼?
K:愛是一切的本質,它超越這個世界上任何其他事物。
Love is the essence in everything I do. It is bigger than anything else in this world.

HF:對你而言,「驕傲」一詞代表什麼?
K:「驕傲」首先是對開創者的回憶。他們為彩虹奮鬥,我們才能夠享受今日的權益。「驕傲」也是生命的慶典。
Pride is first and foremost a remembrance of the people that came before us, how they fought for us and how far we’ve come. It is also a celebration of all human life.
HF:LBGTQIA +身份如何影響你的藝術作品?
K:LGBTQIA是我工作的重心。每次拍攝過程中都從模特身上學到很多,作為攝影師我的任務是盡力描繪他們的故事,讓他人理解。
LGBTQIA is my focus when it comes to my work. I learn a lot from every encounter and I try my best to portray their stories so that others can understand.

HF:請跟我們分享一個你想在藝術/攝影作品中傳達的信息。
K:我們都是一樣的。我們都渴望愛的溫暖,每一種愛都不應被歧視。
That we are all the same. We all crave the warmth of love and no one love should be discriminated.
