Both Directions at Once
Islands, dwellings, memories, and the unknown summon obscured histories, while allowing reality to fracture and reassemble in the present. As the past continues to seep into the here and now, we move in two directions at once: looking back at how identities are formed, while imagining how worlds might be created or destroyed. History is no longer a finished narrative, but a possible pathway toward Taiwan’s near future.

Those irreversible slices of life
Recently, in a novel I've come to love, I found myself grasping the weight of life's slices. In the story, there is a wicked sorcerer who freezes people in the instant just before tragedy strikes—suspending everything, sealing it into a crystal ball, and building an entire museum from these frozen moments. And isn't film, in its own way, just as cruel? As viewers, we are little more than instruments for collecting tissue slices—slipping into a character's world for a single fleeting moment, wandering through it in passing, only to return, in the blink of an eye, to the reality that is our own.
