My complex feelings for night can hardly be elaborated. I learned to digest my own emotions from its depression; I tried to connect all my memories with my sight due to its darkness; I chose to settle down out of its silence...This special memory might have reshaped me to be true and free. Therefore, I am willing to establish more connections with night.

In this process, a new self began to grow. Gradually, I am no longer satisfied with taking night just as a concept but an independent corner that can be controlled, and even reshaped and erased by this new-born self. Maybe such elements that are opposite and can be captured by sight at night are light and darkness. My house is located in a remote place. When darkness befell, only a few lamps in the main street keep on. Each time, when I take a walk, nowhere can be discerned except a few spots shone with light. But to me, it precisely makes the world simpler because the part in darkness is just the emptiness while the part with light is real. Light has divided and defined the night with simplicity and clarity so that I can gradually construct a unique space among many corners like building a block through selection, alignment, and grouping. There, I can reflect, shout, and attempt anything that I never dare, as if to materialize my internal world that is no longer simply in my body.
