Moments

  • It is Monday early afternoon in March in Portland, raining. I am sitting in the café. A black mom and her daughter, both in purple jacket, walking out of a purple car, under a purple umbrella, probably going to a nearby restaurant. The shade of purple is close to a shinny electric violet, quite unique and obvious on the street. Individuality.

  • Last night I watched a short video on Youtube about a transformer from Texas. A gay person who removed more than 30 different part from her body, includes her ears. She will eventually become a dragon lady. So brave as an individual who determine to be who she is. Coming from a different culture I am always amazed by how much freedom a person can have in the society and in community.

  • Xijinping just got full votes to continue his position. I am quite curious about what those few thousands of votes mean and what they intensions behind them are. I am in the middle ground when talking about politic positions, because I don't know much about the political people and facts in both countries. But seeing news will sort of start wondering about the behind the scene stuff.

  • my child is sleeping next to me. her dyed purple hair makes me jealousy, I couldn't seem to bleach off the black in my hair. Will it also stop time putting gray hair on?

  • I walked in to the studio this morning. My boss asked, "how's your weekend?" I responded, "good, hmm, what did I do?" Later on, I realized I actuarially did a lot. Interview, gallery sitting, catch-up with Una, artist talk, deinstallation, farmers market, open studio, pumpkins patch, ended the weekend with a Thai dinner of fake beef rice noodles.
