During the pandemic, I returned to my hometown with confusion and anxiety. It was only then that I began to observe the place where I was born, much like a blind person who has regained their sight, approaching everything with a fresh and curious attitude. Suddenly, things I had been accustomed to for over twenty years stood out: the Hello Kitty print on my bed frame, the women and dogs printed on decorative bathroom tiles, and the shade of blue that always filled my home. These were inexplicable yet intrusive, a natural part of existence. Through my work "Bottle", we witness the different stages of life and the changes in the people around us, and the determination to choose an uncertain, unstable, but interesting life over a stable yet stagnant one.
