註釋The installation aims to depict the aftermath of a terrible catastrophe - a concept which becomes all the more poignant and relevant in the wake of the recent Asian tsunami tragedy. Strange debris is strewn all around the gallery. Broken toys, old trainers and torn clothes are left lying hap-hazardly on the floor which is covered with sparkly grey dust. Abstract objects are scattered around as well - bright, colourful shapes cut from soft materials such a foam, rubber and vinyl can be seen laying amongst the debris. Their purpose is to make the space less violent and more cheerful. There are also photographic images hanging on the walls in the style of shop window displays. These aim to depict apparent consumer chaos. The idea of this installation is to create a ruined environment which has an air of optimism and joy about it - as though new life can generate from the devastated surroundings"--BBC website
