JUST A LITTLE

Design, Dream and Poetry; at MIT, 2022


A bifold story of a level, and a slit; 
about object, architecture and earth.


« Level »
I was born 
a thousand years ago 
I lived 
After the death of a plum 

Two arms
and a little foot 
Water, alcohol, spirit
Bubble becomes me now 





Standing on my own feet 
I want to get closer to you 
Feel 
and measure your curves 

Gravity
I used to chase you
wherever and however
Yet now it’s time for me to fly
Away from your ties

Floating, rotating, balancing
Land 
Travelling 
Not knowing what is in front of me 
yet always remember 
where this bubble has been 










« Rupture »

What happens when the ground slits 
A little rupture 
Wound of the earth 





Slowly descending 
into the unknown 
Hold on and keep 
looking 
Soon you will 
be able to see 



Seeds fall and grow 
Concrete stains 
Animals lodge and wander 
Seasons dance  



Touch
the marks of time
dusts
Wrinkles of mother



The silhouette of sky 
will always guide your way 
We could only know what is hidden
once we bow down and take 
a step
