This is an installation that can make the weight of shadow perceived. Shadow is weightless and of no shape. However, it has also be bearing the weight of grit and gravel, the road that you accoplished or failed. Haruki Murakami wrote a story about a person whose shadow was stripped off his own body when he wanted to go to a fantasy world called “hard-boiled wonderland”. The shadow actually is holding our past footprint and was engraving something on our beloved land for us. How can a shadow be weightless?

We try to create a flexible surface for shadow to flow and let the weight unit to rolling across. You see your shadow as a fluid being.

When you stretch out your arm, the arm of your shadow is also stretching out.
