As you walk across Macao, you will find cobblestone pavements in different parts of the little town. The pavements, the food stands in Patane, the cannons on Mong Ha Hill, and the Coloane residents exposing salted fish in sunlight are what I can recall of the city in nostalgia after I left the place.

I made skeletons with well-aligned white bone shoes as a representation of the medical symptoms from wearing high heels and as a metaphor for social frameworks. The works refer to the state of a genetic desire being extracted from a human body or cut open for anatomy, the state of self-observation. They also serve as a gentle indictment against frameworks and paradigms.
The picture contains a drawing of the Statue of Liberty inspired by an old photo and an obscured image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The work may keep viewers so absorbed that they feel like being in a world with no one around. The indistinct and iconic images disclose the relation between traditional belief and reality.
Doppelganger There are no exact copies in this world, no perfect clones. Even industrially mass-produced items are just copies which tend to be very close to the original. After all, any two copies are just independent individuals that are extremely similar, never identical. Regarding the topic of copying, I thought deeply about the relationship between the "first body" and the "second body" (its Doppelganger), and explored the spiritual and creative possibilities of copying through creation.
