“These cups in various shapes and sizes have always been waiting silently. Ranging from tall to short, fat to thin, they’re born to hold anything tangible and intangible without preferences; either gathered or scattered, in the end they also retain nothing. During the epidemic a friend told me: ‘when you see beautiful things, remember to make a wish, such as lighting a candle, using a clean cup—in human relationships as well as between objects and people, there might be gifts given in an intentionally or unintentionally manner.”
