未知 (The Unknown) by Mengyi Fang
Graphic Design Collection February 18 2024
Intro
“大多数情况下，我们找到目标，付出行动，不断努力，靠近它，想办法实现它。但这个项目的起源，没有目标，一切只是来自于脑海中的一个声音，让我去做点什么。做为一个学设计专业且投入在设计工作中有段时间的我来说，这是竟我第一次尝试用设计来纯粹的表达一些个人的想法，不是因为学校作业，不是因为参加比赛，不是因为有甲方客户，不是因为某个感兴趣的项目，不是因为任何一个既定的目标，
就只是，想表达了，或者说，需要表达了。”
“Most of the time, we find the goal, we take action, we keep working on it, we get closer to it, and we figure out how to achieve it. But at the origin of this project, there was no goal, everything just came from a voice in my head telling me to do something.
As a design major who has been engaged in design work for some time, this is the first time for me to try to express some personal ideas through design, not because of school assignments, not because of participating in competitions, not because of having a client, not because of a project I am interested in, not because of any set goal, but just want to express.
Or rather, it needs to be expressed.”

回忆（Memories）
01/25/2024
“这部分内容来自一个被回忆包围的夜晚，当放任回忆袭来的一刻，自己仿佛置身于大海，海水不断拍打着我的后背，甚至自己都有点站不稳，那个瞬间的我不属于当下，我成为了时间穿越者，真实的回到了过去。
由于意识到时间，我们的当下脱离出来一部分，成为回忆，你可以让它独立于你，忘记它，也可以不断加工它，让它完全成为你的一部分。
我们创造回忆，不断回忆，带着回忆奔向未来。“
“This part of the content comes from a night surrounded by memories, when the moment of letting the memories hit, I feel as if I were in the ocean, the waves constantly beating my back making me hard to stand up. I did not belong to the moment at that moment, I became a time traveler and returned to the past. By being aware of time, part of our present moment becomes a memory, and you can either make it separate from you and forget about it, or you can process it and make it completely a part of you. We make memories, we keep recalling them, and we carry them into the future.“

Outro
“我不清楚它会带我走向何处，我也不在意最终会走向何方，都说人的恐惧是来自对未知的恐惧，如果不那么看重未知背后的已知，那么剩下的，也许只是体验而已。一切仍在继续，它会在该停止的时刻停下来。”
“I don't know where it will take me, and I don't care where it will eventually go, it is said that people's fear is from the fear of the unknown, if you don't pay so much attention to the known behind the unknown, then the rest, maybe just experience.
Everything is still going on, and it will stop when it has to stop."
