攝影師寫詩，以氣味為引的回憶記認
這次除了在影像上的合作，Stephanie 更特別創作了一首詩，揉合影像與文字，將她對氣味回憶的故事發想完整表述。
Une Petite Ballade Parfumée
by Stephanie Teng
We woke up from a long lost time:
A life before we lost our rays
to fireflies in mirrored minds.
Trickling trails of memory fade
in swelling melodies, we wait –
wading through fragrant fumes of truth.
Time pauses in one lasting gaze –
Let go to hold on to new moons.
Sitting on a window still blind
by a light in a shifting shade.
The smell of your skin left behind:
a heart once shaken by a blaze;
a life shattered, another saved.
Reflections on a December blue,
Love takes shape in drifting ways –
Let go to hold on to new moons.
The streets of home feel misaligned:
No hero is here to save the day;
Hold dear all the treasures we find;
no shores escape the waves.
Wishes wilt in unworldly graves
but bloom in a different room.
As the final curtain calls your name –
Let go to hold on to new moons.
In search of a forgotten time –
no star is warmer than wonder.
Walk with me beyond the sublime –
