    After making ‘I Really Have a Painting Like This’, I started to get interested in image: image being a tool to record or preserve things, is there any other way I can utilise it?

    When using images, especially the images of my own experiences, I alway feel a need to make them physical; as if I have to give them an actual body, as if I can touch them, before I can truly own them. So when I was thinking how to pack the things that had happened in my studio, the things that were even more fragmentary, photos in my phone and my posts on social media came to my mind. I screen shot those about my studio in Bali and selected 99 pieces of them to made this little book. It became an image diary of that space and that period of time.
