Oh God, I trust in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Blessed be the Lord my strength,which teacheth my hands to war,and my fingers to fight.. Be not that far from me;for trouble so near;haste Thee to help me."我信賴的天父 請讓我別再羞愧 別讓我心中之敵戰勝我 請保佑我力量 教導我用雙手去打仗 還有用手指去戰鬥 請別遠離我 當困難接近時 請您快幫我 —— Jackson / Saving Private Ryan 1998 …… 這幾天已經開始反覆誦唸著這篇禱文 聽說臺灣即將過新年 而Samel只希望 身體可以再多撐一陣子 千萬別倒下 再給我一點時間 請再給我一點時間

I am not sure how I discover this plastic color. Yet under the circumstance of language barrier and unfamiliar space, Chinese white offers me a sense of hospitality. That is why I redefine the relationship of white and oriental. (note 1) The first piece has a strong inspiration. I used toilet paper to write and impress. The color and texture of this material resemble Chinese rice paper. Moreover, it refers to “help seeking.” People write on the toilet paper only in desperate need. During that particular moment, I was extremely desperate for supports. Therefore, the piece features a white table drifting in the waves. I believe that a working table has the closest contact with an artist. It is like a drift wood that I have to rely on while in the ocean.
Note 1: Chinese red and Chinese blue were used to be the two colors I considered to be most oriental.
It is very difficult to gather material in Gadani. While wandering in Pakistan, I anxiously need “contact.” Though I was eager for postcard and stamps, I was unable to locate these items after three weeks of search. Therefore I began to pack my memories by using found materials around my workshop. I then reassemble theses items to record my vision with action.
