Be Different Anyway 是英国当代动物艺术家 Samantha Biddle 的一幅大型原作混合媒介画作。
Seven lovebirds gather along a branching perch, surrounded by sweeping colour, light and layered handwritten marks.
七只爱情鸟沿着分叉的栖木聚集，周围是 sweeping 色彩、光线以及层叠的手写记号。
Most sit together in the expected way, watching and quietly judging, while one bird chooses to hang upside down.
大多像往常一样聚坐在一起，注视着并静静评判，而其中一只鸟却选择倒挂。
To the others this may look odd. To the bird himself, it feels perfectly natural. He is not performing or deliberately trying to be different, he is simply free enough to be himself.
对其他鸟儿而言这看起来或许奇异。对它自己来说，这感觉极其自然。他并非在表演或刻意与众不同，他只是足够自由地做自己。
The painting explores neurodivergence and the experience of seeing, feeling and moving through the world differently. Its message is not about forcing yourself to fit in or being different for effect. It recognises that another person’s natural way of being may make complete sense from inside their own experience.
这幅画探讨神经多样性以及以不同的方式感知、感受和在世界中移动的经历。它的意义并非在于强迫自己合群或为了效果而显得不同。它承认，另一个人自然的存在方式，在他们自身的体验中可能是完全合理的。
Words and intuitive marks are woven through the painting, supporting its themes of freedom, judgement and self-acceptance. Deep violet and blue move into warm coral, gold and light, giving the work a sense of movement and possibility.
画中穿插着文字与直觉性的痕迹，支撑着自由、评判和自我接纳的主题。深紫与蓝色过渡到温暖的珊瑚色、金色与光线，为作品注入运动感与可能性。
Playful at first glance and more reflective beneath the surface, Be Different Anyway celebrates individuality without treating difference as something that needs to be corrected.
初看轻松活泼，表面之下更显反思，Be Different Anyway 在尊重个性的同时，并不将差异视为需要纠正的事物。
