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.
You can choose not to watch, not to participate in, or to criticize others casually about things that are unfavorable to you or you don't like; it is enough to have a firm will and be yourself.
There are wildlands on one side and paved roads on the other. We have built a wall separating them. The work indicates a relationship, a conflict between cities and the wild. When the cities are occupying the land of the wild, the wild is snatching back what once belonged to it, giving us a painful reminder of the necessity to coexist peacefully with nature in the same place.
