More or less, we resist something just for no reason in childhood. Like being a picky eater, frightened by some wired taboo, and following ridiculous superstitions. When we grow up, those anxious and disgusting feelings submerge into the subconsciousness, and they still affect our behavior unconsciously every day. In this series, Thing i Lost, I captured the scenes from my daily life and the sudden Déjà vu while traveling, and those scenes were used as materials to reform the things I used to hate in a humorous way. Through this process, those memories of anxiety and disgust are no longer bothering me, but they turn into something hilarious and funny instead. I try to transform them into something I may like to accept, however, I just can’t, either does life.
