The theme of this exhibition was inspired by my grandparents’ oceanside house in my hometown. Beaches and fishing ports were my playground when I was a child, and in these places, windbreaks used to protect crops from the sea breeze lined the land like a barrier between the ocean and everyday life. At this home, I have a faint memory of seeing a fallen camphor tree with exposed roots teeming with crabs who were nesting in the crevices. I believe that this indelible scene from my childhood and the tangled-up emotions within me today are mysteriously linked.
