「 If you don’t want to bring “somebody” back to your home, don’t pick up anything in the wild. 」People in Taiwan says

A megacity such as Seoul, It’ s a world totally belonged to human, buildings and crowds are everywhere. I want to find something exists normally, everyday they come here and someday they disappear automatically, the things are like the flowing of rivers, the falling of leaves, and any kind of junk left behind the street. I am especially interested in the environment of rivers, which might be the best place to touch the nature in Seoul. The cycle-way and gardens was sited at the banks of the rivers, many of them were refined and straightened by cement, but the rivers are still fulled of fishes and ducks, I was shocked because this kind of experience never happens to me before; an interesting balance between nature and artificial nature.

The people in Taiwan says: If you don’t want to bring “somebody” back to your home, don’t pick up anything in the wild. It’s mean those things might attach objects from mystery or supernatural that you don’t understand. Therefore, I want to research something from these place, and bring them back.
