Inside every big company there are many workers, they are busy working but upon close inspection you might find some of these workers are not really working but just pretending to be at work, they spent most of their time staring at the monitor, like the backdrop of a movie set. The so call work is repeatedly acting out this performance everyday, hiding quietly in the corner of the office, hoping for real work not to fall on them.
Stars of the Ever Expanding Universe 不斷膨脹宇宙裏的星星 Motor, bicycle, laser cut acrylic sheets, rubber track, & metal wire, Lane Crawford Admiralty, Hong Kong, 2005
In school we learned the Earth is revolving around the Sun, but looking from the Earth's perspective it certainly feels like the Sun is revolving around the Earth. According to the statistic each of us on average would own over 10,000 things. Each day the things we own, people we know and event we engaged in revolve around us like the trillions of stars in the sky, nothing else in the whole world is more important than that. That is to say we are the center of the universe and the Sun sure feel like just another planet revolving around us. I use different colorful acrylics and cut out the shapes from the things I own or the people that are important to me. This sculpture was powered by a bicycle and it produces great shadows on the wall when spinning. _______________________________________________________________________________________________

There are many different types of gods and religions in this world, many gods proclaim that they are the one and only god and they the real god. These gods could be anywhere and knows everything, the all mighty god have unlimited mercy to give and also fantastic punishment for all of us, they demands our respect and fear. I wonder if gods have their own religion or they just believe in themselves. Who is watching over them?

My father used to go to work everyday. Each day he took the elevator from our home then gradually descended down to the street, after a short while he took another elevator and ascended up to his other home, he did this everyday. My father and mother have recently just divorced, now I live with my mother; I do not know where my father is living now and I do not miss him.
When I was a child I have heard it said that people should search for their selves, search for the real self. I was thinking at that time, the present me is not the real me. The real me seems to be living somewhere else, escaping from my search. At that time I was determined to catch this fugitive-like self of mine, yet until today I still have not find him.
