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 tiny foot 
Water, alcohol, spirit
Bubble becomes me  





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

Chasing after 
You, gravity, always and again
I shall now depart
Away from your ties

Floating, rotating, balancing
Land 
Traveller 
Not knowing what is ahead
yet always remember 
where this bubble had been 










« Rupture »

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





Slowly descending 
into the unknown 
Hold on and keep 
Looking 
Soon you will 
open your eyes 



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



Touch
the salt of time
Dust
Wrinkles of our mother



The silhouette of sky 
leads your way ahead
You shall only see what’s hidden 
once you bow and take 
the step
