“終究，還是想畫點讓人舒服，開心的作品。”
我無法做點什麼，但我希望我能帶給你笑容與快樂。
2020年的我們從未忘記，我們遺失了什麼?你愛過什麼?
大寫字母「Q」是藝術家徐鈺樺，在這動盪的時代中特別創作帶給朋友與家人的全新系列作品。戴有櫻花且充滿力量的小女人象徵著希望與幸福，穿著佈滿牡丹花烏干紗的連衣洋裝，靈感來自台灣的花卉紡織品以及亞歷山大·麥昆（Alexander McQueen）。美人魚，仙女，動物和小精靈都擁有能在世界混沌時帶給人平安的力量，不再受到傷害。櫻花的盛開為我們祈福，提醒我們要保持信念，在其中找到和平。
這次駐美藝術家徐鈺樺首次回台隔離創作，他希望在他這些細緻的全新創作能帶給你我愛的人歡樂以及幸福，並且內心在2021都能找到平靜。

I can’t help it. What I want is for you to smile and be happy.”
2020 is a year most of us will never forget. What do you miss? Who do you love?
Q, a new collection of works by Martin Hsu is dedicated to our families and friends in these uncertain times. Mighty little women are symbols of hope and happiness in full bloom, wearing silk organza peony dresses inspired by Taiwanese floral textile and Alexander McQueen. Mermaids, fairies, animals and sprites are kindred spirits that keep us safe from harm when the world feels dark and precarious. Cherry Blossom wishes are beautiful blessings that remind us to keep faith and find peace within.
Created entirely in quarantine, Martin hopes these exquisite and whimsical new works bring you and loved ones joy, happiness, and some peace of mind in 2021 and on.
Stay safe and be well.
