物池之中，藝術家發現內裡堆積了事物的流逝。她打撈物件上一些帶有愜意和靜謐的影像，發現花卉、鳥、動物等圖像，分散在紙巾、桌墊、衣服、袋子之上。藝術家認為這些影像及小物見證了一個人的經歷，有份建構著物件的「美」。即便撇除以上，它們本身或亦蘊含著美，卻淹沒在堆積中，不被看見。因為歲月抑或久被堆積，物件上更留下許多痕跡，包括皺褶、破裂、耗損，多被忽視或被視為瑕疵。
 

藝術家接納物件的種種殘缺，凝視事物流逝的常態。一系列作品以物件的痕跡為起點，「裱裝」（framing）及物料轉化為過程，希望重新突顯這些小物的本質。藝術家把影像移印至透明膠板，並按影像上的皺褶和破損加以雕刻。她再利用一些其他人不再使用的物件，包括文件夾、床墊等，拼湊而成框和裝置，讓影像得以被「安放」。由細看和接受物件上的痕跡，她發掘陪伴自身或他人的可能，重新想像一份安靜。
 

In the household full of stuff, the artist discovers the transience of things. She salvages some images from the objects that carry a sense of comfort and tranquility, finding floral, bird, and animal images scattered on tissues, placemats, clothes and bags. The artist believes that these images and small objects bear witness to a person's experiences and contribute to the "beauty" of the objects. Even without these considerations, they possessed inherent beauty but were submerged in the piles of things. Due to the passage of time and long period of storage, the objects bear marks including creases, cracks, and wear, which are often considered flaws.

The artist accepts the various flaws of the objects and contemplates the impermanence and fleeting nature of things. The series of works start from the marks on the objects. The artist used "framing" and material transformation as a process to spotlight the essence of these small objects. The artist transferred the images onto acrylic boards and carved them along the creases and marks. She used some discarded objects, such as folders and mattresses, to assemble frames and installations, allowing the images to be "well-placed". By closely examining and accepting the marks and traces, she explores the possibility of providing solace to oneself or others, re-imagining a sense of serenity.
