"They are the works on memories. The things now lied before you have separated from the
functional value they used to have, and left only vacant aesthetics. The works now question the
aesthetics, and they are also a part of my undone project titled "Memory, reality and wishes".
Human being, the main body of aesthetics, but firstly the main body of material needs. After the
basic material need were satisfied, how can we make aesthetic judgments on things? I'm just
curious on that."
