 I care about things around me and the place I live in. The social, cultural and internet phenomena are what I am concerned about. Even the most neglected weed can hit my sensitive nerve. The things around me change rapidly, and I share more and more resemblance with them. As I have been altered unconsciously all the time, it seems that everything around me is a reflection of myself: the urban green space that being pruned, reconstructed, and squeezed, but known as a “beautification of the environment”; the organics such as vegetables and fruits that slowly go rotten, be decomposed and disappear, though not being touched by anything; the trees that seem to be healthy on the outside, but is hollowed and damaged inside... In fact, I resemble them. We are inadvertently eroded by certain things and keep changing reactively.
