作品自述 / Artist text:
2015年，查理周刊被袭击的事件喧嚣一时，全球民众在社交媒体的动员下纷纷高举“我是查理”给予声援。“JE SUIS CHARLES I”是法文版标语的错误拼写，直指标志了现代历史开端的查理一世：第一位被议会以叛国罪处决的不列颠国王。为这位意愿赞助艺术实现其政治表达的关键性人物争取一次言论的自由。

The year 2015 witnessed quite the stir with the attack on the French periodical Charlie Hebdo. Incentivized by social media, people from all over the world expressed their support by proudly exalting the phrase "JE SUIS CHARLIE". The title "JE SUIS CHARLES I" is the "incorrect" spelling of the original French slogan, a direct reference to another pivotal figure named Charles I, the first king of England in modern history ever to be executed while still in his monarchical position. In this case, the manifestation of an inflammatory public opinion is brought into the type of magnetic easel as used in early childhood education. Under the pretext of helping the next generation practice their foreign spelling, the work contends for a place of free speech for Charles I to carry out his political expression by supporting the Arts.
