Sometimes I picture a situation in which the audience does not understand or agree with me in front of my works, which causes the worry that I am experiencing at the moment - concern about how other people see me. They pass judgement on me based on their own experiences; some dismiss the worth of my work or even my own identity.
When I was 11, I suffered from a serious sickness. I was always scared when the doctor came to check on me at half past eight every morning throughout my one-month stay in the hospital.

I let its shadow overlap with my body, like Chinese poets do when they worship bamboo with chants to reflect their own personalities.
