「他們很嘔心。」攝影師 Donna Pinckley 指出,雖然美國容許跨種族婚姻,已有接近半個世紀的歷史,但是美國社會距離完全接受這種伴侶,還有很遠的路要走。在其作品「Sticks and Stones」裏,拍攝了一系列不同類型的跨種族伴侶及家庭,並且手寫下他們所面對的各種仇恨言論,人類的偏見與無知,部份令人心寒。

種族歧視在香港似乎沒有那麼嚴重?那只是因為我們的社群過於單一而矣。當香港的父母與各種親戚,看見女兒要嫁予巴基斯坦人、印度人又或是菲律賓人,又或是港男要娶一個肯亞黑人時,大概你會想像到,其實全世界都是差不多。

攝影師希望透過這個項目,分享出他們的經歷,同時捕捉到人們之間無形的聯繫,尤其是愛情的力量,你看得見嗎?照片主要拍攝於美國南部,就是較為保守的州份。
