YOU!
WHOM I RECORDED IN MY VISUAL MEMORY WHILE I HAPPENED TO PASS BY YOU IN THE CORRIDORS IN THAT PERIOD OF LIFE CORRESPONDING TO UNIVERSITY EDUCATION!
WHO WAS A SILHOUETTE WHOSE EYES I COULD NOT PERCEIEVE BEHIND ALL THOSE TANGLED CURLY HAIR AND BEARD OF YOURS, WHOM I WAS SURE I DIDN’T KNOW WHEN WE MET TODAY!
MY MEMORY IS NOW SORTING THE IMAGES WE LIVED AT THOSE DAYS, WITHOUT KNOWING THEY WOULD BE THE MIRRORS OF TODAY...
I’M SURPRISED HOW MUCH IMAGES ARE STORED IN MY MIND, WHICH I PROBABLY HAD RECORDED UNCONSCIOUSLY.
YOU!
HELD A MIRROR TO ME TODAY WHILE LOOKING FOR YOUR MIRRORS!
WAS IT YOU WHOM I DIDN’T KNOW, I DIDN’T REMEMBER, OR HAD I FALLEN APART FROM MY MYSELF!
I WONDER IF THE PEOPLE WE LIVED SIDE BY SIDE WERE MORE FAMILIAR?
YOU!
BECAME ONE OF THE PEOPLE FOR WHOM I COULDN’T SPARE TIME. BECAME SWIMMING UP THE SURFACE TO BREATH!
TODAY YOU BECAME ONE OF THOSE WHOM I DID NOT SEEK, WHOM I COULD’T CALL, MY QUESTIONS, MY ANSWERLESSNESS.
BUT I WOULD HAVE WANTED TO BE THOSE WHO
REMEMBER YOU WITH APPRECIATION OR HATRED,
HURT YOU OR SUPPORT YOU,
CONFLICT OR SHARE WITH YOU,
HATE YOU OR HOPE FOR YOU,
I WOULD HAVE WANTED TO BE
YOUR DENTIST OR ENEMY
ONE OF YOUR THINGS
INSTEAD OF CONTENDING WITH BEING AN IMAGE
RECORDED IN YOUR MEMORY BY CHANCE,
THEN, WITH A COINCIDENCE PERHAPS, I BECAME A STROKE OF BRUSH IN THE PICTURE OF YOUR LIFE,
AND TOOK MY PLACE IN THIS EXHIBITION.

What it matters to you: WE MET, DIDN’T TALK,
WE MET, DIDN’T RECOGNIZE
IF WE MET, WE CAN
RECOGNIZE.
