  • METRO ENTRANCE     









    A concrete plane tilts up from the horizon
    symbol of welcoming
    Human figures with all kinds of silhouette
    following the path
    slope up from the ground


    The plane hover above the ground leads to the end
    Its turning point breaks the mirror image of itself
    becomes rough and jagged
    stretches off the horizon and descends underground
    Figures flood into a dark hole
    Except for those with wheels and burdens
    both physical and mental ones
    in situ
    confusing and fatigue
    trapped in between the entrance and the exit

    TACTILE PAVING     








    The texture of the road changed
    indifferently
    smooth and hard
    leads to an unknown land without any hints
    Tab to the left is the red steps
    Tab to the right, a curved path


    After minutes of waltz
    she drowns into another dimension
    a stage
    the void
