these years to put emphasize on “People”. I am always curious on people who have outstanding characters. I consider myself grew up in a dramatic family. My family’s characters are prominent and sometimes those characters will make people feel weird and strange. Take my mom for instance, she is that kind of person who is crazy about feeling safety. Nothing can arouse her attention. The most interested thing for her is to sit on the sofa and spy the world from her monitor. She can spend whole day on watching and spying. All the detailed things such as watching her neighbor or how many dogs have passed by. She knows well on these little things and loves to know everything but without presence. For me, it’s interesting as watching a movie. Let me want to record them down Before this summer, I went to Portugal for traveling. One

day, I was on the train and the train just passed by the forest. I saw a drawf with one eye and he is standing next to a tree in the woods. I also saw a fox is passing through the wood. However, it stopped moving and stared at me. While passing through those empty and abandoned towns, the train still stop for short period. But whenever the door opened, I felt the room in the train is decreasing. At night, I arrived in a small town. I saw a blind man was walk down the stairs without the help of crutch. People there like to talk out loud and women are with plump body shape. The plump shape is kind of shape which is not civilized yet. That trip has inspired me a lots and I haven’t get to what exact is the inspiration. So I would like to take next few years to digest. An interview by Josh Ryder, curator and Melissa C.
