Massive in size, but intimate in feeling.

而這一切背後的藝術家是誰呢？

Her name is Jacqueline Suwari, and she's a master of her craft.

她的名字叫傑奎琳-蘇瓦利（Jacqueline Suwari），是一位工藝大師。

They don't call me the queen of the ballpoint pen for nothing.

他們稱我為原子筆女王可不是白叫的。

I'm a multidisciplinary artist specializing with the ballpoint pen based in Abuja, Nigeria.

我是一名多學科藝術家，擅長使用原子筆，現居尼日利亞阿布賈。

I do one of the largest ballpoint pen pieces in the world.

我製作了世界上最大的原子筆作品之一。

When I went into art school, I was told that the pen wasn't an art material.

當我進入藝術學校時，我被告知鋼筆不是藝術材料。

When I left art school, I was a little lost because I had now trained in painting, and there's nothing like those kind of strokes that I got with the ballpoint pen in painting.

當我離開藝術學校時，我有些迷茫，因為我現在接受的是繪畫訓練，而繪畫中用原子筆描繪出的那種筆觸是無法比擬的。

There was a drawing exhibition for draftswomen.

I was like, let me just do a ballpoint pen drawing just in case.

我就想，為了以防萬一，我還是用原子筆畫一張吧。

It was the beautiful way the pen reflected the skin.

這是鋼筆映襯皮膚的美麗方式。

There was these layers of her skin, the way the pen was able to create those soft but subtle flows of her skin.

她的皮膚層層疊疊，鋼筆能在她的皮膚上畫出柔和而微妙的線條。

So I decided that, you know what, I'm going to explore his ballpoint pen and see how far it would take me.

於是我決定，你知道嗎，我要去探索他的原子筆，看看它會帶我走多遠。

Once I've gotten my reference, I will do the transfer with pencil onto the paper.

拿到參考資料後，我會用鉛筆在紙上進行轉印。

Once that's done, I proceed to draw with the ballpoint pen.

完成後，我就開始用原子筆作畫。

It takes me between four weeks to about two months to finish.

我需要四周到兩個月的時間才能完成。

I would say close to a million strokes per figure.

我想說的是，每個數字接近一百萬次。

Sometimes the sound of my drawing is very soothing for me.

有時，我畫畫的聲音會讓我很舒心。

For a typical piece, the amount of pens I go through will be about five to ten.

對於一個典型的作品，我會用掉五到十支筆。

If there's hair and it happens to be like complicated hair, maybe like Afro hair, it would be like 15 or 20 because just hair alone can take up to six pens.

如果有頭髮，而且恰好是複雜的頭髮，可能像非洲人的頭髮，那就需要 15 或 20 支筆，因為光是頭髮就需要 6 支筆。

When I was making Nowhere Myself, I was talking about embodying your true self.

在製作《無處安放的自己》時，我一直在談論如何體現真實的自我。

I expressed myself in films, sculpture, poetry, paintings, dance even.

我用電影、雕塑、詩歌、繪畫甚至舞蹈來表達自己。

I didn't know what to expect from the audience.

I just knew that I wanted to encourage people to be their most authentic self.

我只知道，我想鼓勵人們做最真實的自己。

And then it was happening, you know, in a way that I didn't when we had just started recovering from the Ansar's protest and people were being targeted because of the way they appeared.

當我們剛剛開始從安薩爾的抗議活動中恢復過來，人們因為他們的外表而成為攻擊目標時，這種情況就發生了。

I believe that the true authenticity of a person comes from within.

我相信，一個人真正的真實性來自內心。

Irrespective of whatever society says about you, still aim for authenticity of the self.

無論社會對你的評價如何，都要以真實的自我為目標。

It was kind of humbling that people were able to grasp that.

人們能夠理解這一點，真是令人謙卑。

It was so profound in the sense that people actually were making life choices from experiencing that exhibition.

它的意義非常深遠，因為人們實際上是在經歷了那次展覽之後做出了人生選擇。

But even if I didn't sell, for me that was success in itself because people were able to view my work and live that place differently.

但即使我沒有賣出去，對我來說這本身就是成功，因為人們能夠以不同的方式欣賞我的作品和生活在那個地方。

People send me messages and they say they want me to mentor them.

有人給我發資訊，說希望我能指導他們。

I don't have to physically be present with you to mentor you as we have about five to six people from different parts of Nigeria and we meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

我不需要親臨現場指導你，因為我們有來自尼日利亞不同地區的大約五到六人，我們每週一、三、五開會。

Akin, I know that before we started this exercise you were very afraid but this what you've done is very impressive.

阿金，我知道在我們開始這項工作之前，你非常害怕，但你所做的一切令人印象深刻。

You've come a long way considering where you used to be before.

考慮到你以前的情況，你已經走了很長的路。

It shows that you're paying attention and I'm actually very impressed.

這說明你很用心，讓我印象深刻。

When I began my art journey, all I just wanted to do was to draw.

當我開始藝術之旅的時候，我只想畫畫。

I didn't think about influence or interventions or any of that sort or exhibition around the world.

我沒有考慮過影響、干預或任何此類問題，也沒有考慮過在世界各地舉辦展覽。

If the love for just one ballpoint pen that I found in secondary school, pursuing that love has brought me this far, there's nothing that's impossible at this point.

如果說中學時代對一支原子筆的熱愛和追求能讓我走到今天，那麼現在看來，沒有什麼是不可能的。

Ballpoint pen can never be the same again without that addition that I have brought because from that move alone more people are inspired to do larger pieces.

如果沒有我的加入，原子筆就不會再像現在這樣了，因為僅這一舉動就能激發更多的人創作出更大的作品。

I've made it my life's work to make sure that my work is actually studied in school to know that this artist took art a step further from what we know as art.

我畢生的工作就是確保我的作品能在學校裡得到真正的學習，讓大家知道這位藝術家將藝術從我們所知的藝術中更進一步。

She took the ballpoint pen and the appreciation of it a step further from just the studio to people's personal lives.

她將原子筆和對原子筆的欣賞從工作室進一步延伸到人們的個人生活中。
