《此致我的恐懼》透過沉浸式互動虛擬現實體驗，分享作者患有躁鬱症與強迫症眼中的世界。觀眾將經歷一場情緒起伏的旅程，重新審視感知、情緒、聯想與自身的關係，鼓勵更多人坦然討論精神健康。

Dear My Fear is an immersive experience to share the creator’s point ofview as a Bipolar Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder patient.The audience is invited to reexamine the intricate relationships between perception, emotion, association, and the self through this emotional journey of highs and lows. This project aspires

感知、認知、定義、記憶、聯想、情緒。

是感知構成認知，是定義塑造記憶，是聯想掀起情緒。

亦是認知規限了定義，是記憶框架了聯想，是情緒過濾了感知。

躁期讓我自覺無所不能欲罷不能，然而抑鬱和焦慮總隨即應約而至。在兩極之間拉扯掙扎，強迫症和躁鬱症肆意撩動情緒，矇騙認知，安插聯想，讓我戴上了一層厚重的濾鏡。

從此，我看見的世界不再一樣。

以復元藝術家第一身記憶始，以精神科醫生專業作結，窺探精神疾病的視點。

Perception, cognition, definition, recollection, association, emotion.

Perception shapes cognition, definition molds memory, and association ignites emotion. Yet cognition confines definition, memory frames association, and emotion filters perception.

Riding on the crest of mania, I feel incredible — invincible. Yet depression and anxiety always follow , pulling me back into their undertow. Surfing between the waves of manic and depression, my emotions are distorted, my cognitions are deceived, and my associations are manipulated. A thick, unrelenting filter beclouds over my senses, reshaping the world before me.

Nothing looks ever the same.

Begins with the raw recollections of an artist in recovery, and concludes with the clinical insight from a psychiatrist, here is the rare glimpse into the fractured yet vivid landscapes of the mind.

從何而起 Where it started…

我總質疑自己，到底憑什麼跟人分享經驗？情況遠談不上嚴峻，病情比我惡劣的人多的是。我該以什麼自居，代諸多精神病患者發聲？

當我察覺到自己再次陷入自我批判的循環時，我便下定決心要投入到這個項目中。揮之不去的自我否定、自我檢討，似乎是每個精神病患者都繞不過的課題。我體驗過那種如履薄冰的感覺，害怕別人認為我反應過度，或者指責我小題大做，於是我先行否定自己的感受，逃離自己的情緒，試圖隱瞞他人，實則欺騙自己——直到恐懼反撲襲來，一發不可收拾。

我在把自己拼湊完整的過程中學懂，只有正面處理才能平息負面情緒；只有接納理解負面情緒，精神創傷才有癒合的可能。

為了創造一個讓正視這些傷痕、治癒這些傷痛的空間，我的 VR 項目由此誕生。

獻給我最親愛的朋友、敵人與導師。

此致

我的恐懼

I doubt the righteousness of myself talking about my illness a lot. “Whom could I share my experience on behalf of? My conditions weren’t that severe anyway. Am I even qualified to speak up for myself?”

I was indeed determined to work on this project when I noticed that I had again fallen into the loop of self-criticism - for not being “ill” enough. Going through self-blame and overthinking seems to be an unavoidable suffering from mental illness. I know how it feels, fearing that others might see me as overreacting or making a fuss over nothing, I deceived and negated my emotions and feelings from everyone, including my own self.

It took me some time to realize that only being properly addressed can ease the negative emotions, and only through conversations and normalizing the existence can cure mental illnesses.

To create a space for us to acknowledge, discuss and heal the often-hidden wounds, this is where my VR project originated.

Dear my fear. To my dearest friend, enemy, yet mentor.

藝術家簡介Artist bio

畢業於城市大學創意媒體學院，作為新媒體藝術家， 專注於3D和沉浸式互動創作 ，渴望通過作品讓人看見「他者眼中的世界」。

於理解和共感之前，我們要先了解和認知。人總因不被理解而痛苦，而僅是被看見，便足以緩解人之間的隔閡。

Meet Kaitlyn, a proactive new media artist and graduate of the School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong with a BAS in New Media. An insatiable curiosity drives Kaitlyn to explore the intersection of art and technology, constantly seeking innovative ways to merge these fields.

As a young artist, Kaitlyn is deeply fascinated by how individuals perceive and remember the world around them. She often reflects on thought-provoking questions: What shape do memories take? Do they carry a color, a warmth, or even a taste? Are they framed in words or images? She believes that, while we may live in the same world, our experiences and perceptions are vastly different. Through her work, she seeks to evoke these questions in others, offering a lens to experience the world through someone else’s eyes.
