About

People have memories of one another

At an intersection in time and space

appears a connection, as well as a fulcrum,

otherwise we will just be one stroke to the left and another to the right
which will never meet, though in the same plane

From IN explores the shape of “man” to decompose “man” at different levels. This is done to discover two opposite strokes from the perspective of word structure, so as to see through the “body”, as well as the spirit and memory inside it.

Memories are traceable, while emotions stay warm. Encounter and separation tell us how two opposite strokes meet and then part with each other. That’s also how people are connected to each other, how bodies collide with each other, and how memories intersect. The two opposite strokes are what we call “From IN”, which is a warm place to store our memories, while the magnified separation is the ending.
