Project Introduction｜
‘Some sea routes are just spoken of but never seen, and some stories are just heard of but never experienced. People from the land wonder what it’s like under the sea. On the sleepless nights, a man wanders along the harbor, drifting between the reality and the memories. Secret words mingle among the sound of the wave. Guided by the faded moonlight, the consciousness is curled back to the ocean and floating to islands far and near.’

This project focuses on smuggling. The artist intertwines his personal memories and the stories he collects to create another possibility of how smuggling becomes a pathway of thinking and action from image and language. Use "escape" and "collaboration" as keywords to re-examine the relationships between individuals, society, the sea, islands, and nations.
