This text-based installation are three statements reflecting on personal experiences of displacement. Statements are stitch on three layers of kozo paper hanging on a grey wall, with an LED motion light on the back. Exaggerated nails and the grey background imply the coldness of the metropolis. The threads on paper composed their stories and connection with the place that they lived in. Threads wind on the nails and go into the wall as they struggle to trace their sense of belonging.
