我將自己浸入「復振」的能量裡，其一波又一波振幅所觸動的，是遺失民族認同的苦痛、失落和深沉的悲傷；意識層面所開展的是，看見「殖民」歷史下被肢解但仍閃亮的文化遺留，每一塊都正艱難地經歷著一場物質與意識的出土再生。
I immerse myself in the energy of "revitalisation," where each wave of amplitude stirs feelings of pain, loss, and profound sadness of lost identities; on a conscious level, what unfolds is the sight of cultural remains that are dismembered yet still luminous under the history of "colonisation." Each is undergoing a process of rebirth in both material and consciousness.

Body
Prologues and The First
Why do people experience grief and suffering?
How do grief and pain manifest as physical ailments in the body?
How does the body remember emotions?
How is the body formed?
I wondered.
Listening to the body,
in language, wind, soil, fields, water, rice, yeast, wine, electronic circuits.
Shaping the form,
grow forth hair, head, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, feet.
Body, come alive.
Soul, awaken.
