【草间弥生】写诗对抗新冠肺炎　重温波点女王揉合悲恸与希冀诗篇

新冠肺炎COVID-19蔓延多月，全球确诊人数超过一百万宗，连带经济步入低谷，不少人因而陷入前所未有的低潮。
波点女王草间弥生近日有感而发，为抗疫写下一首诗，借此向全人类打气。

相信大家对草间弥生的艺术创作并不陌生。自小患有精神分裂症并且有强烈自杀倾向的她，以重复而延绵无尽的圆点，向世人展示她眼前的世界。观者置身于无限延伸的圆点及网线世界时，再也感受不了世界的起点与尽头，感受如草间弥生所形容：“迷失在无数圆点之中的一个”的感觉。

一同进入草间弥生的波点世界：

除了艺术创作之外，草间弥生亦爱写诗。近日她有感而发，就著肆虐无道的新冠肺炎写了一首诗。她在诗中呼吁大家在此艰难的时刻寻找爱，并以坚决的口吻表示会对抗疫症，取得最后的胜利。

全诗如下：

Though it glistens just out of reach, I continue to pray for hope to shine through
Its glimmer lighting our way
This long-awaited great cosmic glow

Now that we find ourselves on the dark side of the world
The gods will be there to strengthen the hope we have spread throughout the universe

For those left behind, each person’s story and that of their loved ones
It is time to seek a hymn of love for our souls
In the midst of this historic menace, a brief burst of light points to the future
Let us joyfully sing this song of a splendid future
Let’s go

Embraced in deep love and the efforts of people all over the world
Now is the time to overcome, to bring peace
We gathered for love and I hope to fulfil that desire
The time has come to fight and overcome our unhappiness

To Covid-19 that stands in our way
I say Disappear from this earth
We shall fight
We shall fight this terrible monster

Now is the time for people all over the world to stand up
My deep gratitude goes to all those who are already fighting.

除了此作品外，草间弥生过去亦曾就著爱、生、死、青春等的命题撰诗，每首诗作均蕴含浓厚的痛苦但又不失战胜悲恸的力量，与草间弥生的一生互相呼应。
