The work is in contrast with the stone screens erected behind the bronze statue by Lake Tswei. The written words act as the language intervening between the existing screens, with mediums like cage-free eggs, vegetables, fruit and food being the writing interface. An attempt to confront with symbols of power and authority during the exhibition period, it is only possible to sustain when one start taking action.

The works are based on writing itself. Words, through diverse writing interfaces, are represented on various mediums like human body, vegetables, fruit, corrugated steel sheets, embroidery, and photography. These writings stand as the extension of subjective consciousness. Amid the attempts from articulation to comprehension, the words are bound to go through multiple reinterpretations, with their meanings gradually breaking away from the creator’s grasp during the whole process. Words as symbols for reading and communications are thus deconstructed, and a fictional boundary is purposely built between the works and the viewer.
