I believe the state of being a ”Puer Aeternus“ should be something one realizes through their own self-awareness—a tool for self-understanding—rather than a reductive label used to carelessly frame observed phenomena.

我相信永恆少年應該要是人們出於自我意識去意識到的狀態，是用於了解自己的，而不是隨便地框架自己觀察到的現象並且貼上片面的標籤。

And so, I chose to share this concept. This led to the creation of a zine, born through interviews and invitations to creators （including myself) to contribute their work.
As an editor, interviewer, and reader, this zine portrays fragments of these individuals’ lives. How do they come to recognize themselves as being in a state of eternal adolescence? How do they annotate or define such a self-understanding? After trading the creators’ journeys—both active and passive—through the concept of ”Puer Aeternus“, how might readers reflect back onto themselves? These are the questions I raise through this zine.

於是我選擇分享這個概念。一本透過訪談、邀請創作者創作、並也自行進行創作的永恆少年小誌因此而誕生。身為編輯者、訪談者及讀者，這本小誌描述了這些人的部分人生——如何認知到自己身處永恆少年的狀態？如何為這樣的自我定義設下註解？剖析創作者一段段主動或被動經歷永恆少年的歷程後，觀看者又會如何反映這些至自身？這是我在這本小誌中的提問。
