閱讀時，不妨一邊播放她的歌曲：

yeule is a parallel sphere to connect to when low on power
yeule is a cut in dimensional fabric
yeule is a disappearing space

yeule is loading…

誰是“yeule”？時而是「平行的球體」，時而是「正在消失的空間」；單單是這樣的自我介紹，確是很難知道她是何方神聖。早在2012年，駐新加坡和倫敦的電子音樂家與模特兒Nat Ćmiel便創造了「yeule」這個角色，靈感源自日本電玩 Final Fantasy XIII-2的同名角色，當中包含了死亡和重生的象徵。她的聲音充滿著夢幻空靈的味道，又帶點哥特式的冰冷頹廢，而那令人過目不忘的「外觀」，確實讓筆者一直也忘不掉她──具實驗性的眼妝、非比尋常的胭脂，以及滿身的傷口……如此獨特的形象，突然令人想起早前在日本掀起的「yami-kawaii」（病態可愛）風潮。

Crying Eyes

看著Yeule在Instagram上發布的照片，筆者不得不把自己的雙眼專注在她的雙眼上。那些五彩斑斕的眼妝不但幾乎沒有重複，還相當具有原創性！紅黃眼影的對比搭配，加上充滿太空味道的銀色雙眉，或是加入閃粉閃石的點綴等，也展現出她百變的妝容風格。此外，「淚眼」是Yeule眼妝的標誌特色，這也似乎是悲觀情緒的投射。這位電子音樂家不愛以言語表達自己，害怕向旁人透露太多，便希望以虛擬的Yeule作為一種宣洩情感的方法，把內心的感受訴說在妝容或音樂之上。

“Imperfect” Cheeks

大家平日會怎樣使用胭脂？在兩頰位置以手指塗開粉紅或橘色胭脂？還是使用珠光感的色彩，以增添紅潤感？至於Yeule的胭脂更像是一種「不完美」的個人記號──由臉頰到鼻樑，一整片大規模的橙色胭脂呈現於眼前，上面還夾雜著少許雀斑。這種非主流的胭脂使用法，似乎是刻意為角色營造一種異於常人的孤立感。

Bloody Body

Yeule身上最讓筆者聯想到「yami-kawaii」文化的原因，正是Yeule滿身的傷口：脖子像是被利器刺到的可怕傷口，雙手又經常綁著繃帶，還有在她新推出的歌曲“Pocky Boy”MV裡，身穿水手服的Yeule化上暗黑的眼唇妝，而右眼更有著明顯的瘀紅。這種充滿「病態可愛」的演繹，不但是Yeule想要擺脫當今社會的壓力， 還想以這種血腥可怕的模樣體現出人性的黑暗面；或者有人討厭看見這些負面情緒，但它們卻與你一直共在。
