Piles of porcelain fragments, found at archaeological sites, wriggled like silkworms, which inspired the artist to bring them back and let silkworms spin all over them.

Silk and porcelain are two different materials: one features softness and delicacy while the other feels hard and cold. However, they are similar in presenting a sense of purity, void and fragility.

Since the age of the Silk Road, silk and porcelain have been bonded together for centuries.
