Objects once in studios
Ideas comes and goes; objects were once there and gone. Thoughts have created into concrete forms.
The stuff were crafted from the fragments in my mind. They were the baby steps waiting to grow strong, simliar as the sketches of a painting. They were material exploration, tests, puzzles of myself – the movements in the studios.

Literacy Name Game, 2014
Through this sound-based translation process, I want to express my difficulties of remembering foreign names and recreate this experience to the locals. I collected my peers’ English name and translated their name in unqiue Cantonese characters based on the pronunciations. Working on each panel, I had a chance to reconnect the impressions to each person. As part of this literacy game, viewers have to identify the new form of their names, and find the right match between panels and a bilingual name sheet.
