The body structure of everyone is similar yet different. If you have myopia, you will know that the field of vision in your eyes is unique. This work presents my vision after taking off my glasses, and when there are tears in my eyes. When I look at the night lights through tears, the lights blossom like flowers and out of the middle of the blooms, there are bubbles occasionally due to the obstruction of tears. Nevertheless, this is a unique and silent outpouring.

每个人的身体构造相似却又不尽相同,若你有近视眼,你会晓得你眼中的视界是独一无二的。作品所呈现的是我脱下眼镜后的视界,且前提是眼中带着眼泪。瞳孔透过泪水,看向夜晚的灯光时,灯光像一束束灯花,光线从中间的点往外散开,间中因为泪水的阻挡,形成一个个泡影。这是一项独特而又沉默的倾诉。
