Employing Julia Kristeva's psychoanalytic concept of abjection to revisit childhood memories, the work explores the boundary between enjoyment and anxiety through an imaginary child's worldview. For this presentation, a wooden complex simulates a childhood bedroom once shared with a younger sister on a bunk bed. Soft sculptures and carpet designs resembling human excrement ooze from the structure and lie on the floor, creating an intimate yet uncanny symbolic space where the child longs for the mother or grieves her absence. The display also includes four wall pieces of embroidered underpants framed in baby toys—undergarments designed to conceal shameful body parts, now presented as trophies to symbolize the child's desire to regain maternal approval and become once again her object of desire. During Art Basel HK, two poetry performances were staged at the Para Site booth.
