A series of holes were dug in the ground of several parks, and labels were installed to indicate the action.

The act of digging away the soil means a ‘lack’, and presenting it as a photographic work transforms this lack into a ‘presence’. The digging action, the absent objects, and the label ‘object on loan’ provide a framework for a story, which may symbolise a certain loss of existence, such as the loss of culture, history, land ownership or natural resources, or other things that are outside the stripped images.

Of course, this is too idealistic. After all, ‘square’ as a geometric shape is a rational abstraction of nature by humans, but nature itself is usually disordered or irregular. This makes the work, although it also provides a seemingly unlimited stage through which ‘nothingness’ always controls the work under a strong human interference or the metaphorical interference of the public education system. Intention and reality, ideal and reality, slogans and desires are considered irreconcilable, contradictory states in this project.

If I want to pursue the truth, my only explanation may be that I want to dig a hole. But I have to ‘pre-’ this as something I can't refuse, and I really don't want to take risks. Including this work itself, in fact, it is just a hole. So I still have to use a ‘pre-’ to explain it clearly with precise and beautiful language: I just want to dig a hole. Then it seems that it is not just a hole. Then, we can applaud and celebrate.
