All the photos used in this work were taken ten years ago in Tokyo during a school holiday. At the time, I was in my third year of living away from home and my family. I remember taking some of these pictures vividly, while others feel completely unfamiliar. Since my time in Japan was limited, I took countless random photos. Looking back, I can sense just how much I was missing home.

The image printed on the organza fabric curtain shows a stage in a zoo. While I was making this piece I found out that this stage doesn't exist anymore.

The audience is invited to open and close the curtain, interact with the layers of memories underneath.
