History is not just about what happened, but about what is remembered and how.

觸摸就是記憶。
The things we own are the things that own us.
我們擁有的東西就是擁有我們的東西。
We make things to remember, and we remember by making things.

Porcelain is the most alchemical of materials, turning earth into something that seems to hold light.

To collect is to gather things to yourself, to take things from the world and make them part of your own story.

Objects have always been carried, sold, bartered, stolen, retrieved and lost. People have always given things to other people.
物品總是被攜帶、出售、交換、偷竊、找回和丟失。人們總是把東西送給別人。
