“Place" not only refers to geographic regions but also represents the spaces we tread upon in our daily lives. Human life is always intertwined with the relationship with place as we seek to define ourselves through different people, events, things, and environments. Unconsciously, "I" and "Place" shape and transform each other, giving rise to a series of customs and conventions that construct the unique culture of a place, perhaps even becoming an unspoken history.

This exhibition takes you on a journey into a world that is both illusory and real, from the perspective of culture and nature. Through the various traces and clues within the artworks, it guides you to explore the imagination and relationship between individuals and our surrounding environments so that we can weave a network of connections between people, space, and geography together. It tells the stories of "I" speaking about "Place" and "Place" narrating the tale of “Us.”
