見字如見人 See One Through One’s Words

Editorial


If language is the soul's voice, handwriting is the movement of the heart.

Created as a collaboration between viction:ary’s Creative Director Victor Cheung and Graphologist Marie Lam, this project gathers the handwriting — 「我」, the single Chinese character of "I" — of 100 people from young to old and all walks of life, which reveals the special qualities and self-perception of each individual. Analysing each stroke, scrawl, and slant, this book offers an observation of each participant from a third-person's perspective, revealing every small detail that may otherwise go unnoticed.

Without meeting in person, we invite you to delve into this book and explore their stories chronicled on each page.


若語言是心之聲,字跡則是心之畫——撇捺之間,蘊藏著心靈的面貌,還有歷練的痕跡。

viction:ary與筆跡專家林婉雯Maria Lam為香港知專設計學院傳意設計研究中心與Typeclub HK合作策劃的展覽《見字__》共同創作的《見字如見人》,邀請了一百位來自不同年齡層的參加者手寫「我」字,望以稚氣至成熟的一筆一劃,呈現人的獨特性與各人眼中的自我。在每個「我」的背面,Maria為每個筆跡予以分析,以第三身的視角觀察寫字者。

見字如晤,願透過眼前一頁頁文字,讓你遇見一個個真實的人。
