「年年有餘」是一句吉祥話，源自南方的傳統，通常在年夜飯時，每家會準備一道魚的料理，而必須吃剩一些魚肉，以表達期待新的一年豐富圓滿之意。

陳彥呈覺得自己成為家長之後，對人生的看法都因而改變。拍下照片就如捕捉時間、人生中的「魚」、「餘」，是他留給孩子的祝福。

藉以「年年有魚」分為三部份的作品，他帶著父親這個重要的身分探索愛、生命與時間等更大的命題。

‘年年有餘(nián nián yǒu yú)’ is a greeting originated from tradition, where families would prepare a special fish dish at the end-of-year meal but leave a few bites uneaten to signify wishes for an abundant and plentiful year ahead.

Yan-Cheng Chen (@yan_cheng_chen) believes that his life was redefined the moment he became a parent. To capture an image is to grasp at fishes in the stream of life and time, all to bless his child with a feast.

Through ‘I Have Fish’, a series of works presented in 3 parts, he steps into his shoes as a father, and journeys forth to explore life’s big topics.
