"Sometimes , some words become the starting point of my work such as Onion Orion. Maybe, some people or writers enjoy
this kind of wordplay in notebooks or in their head, but very few people realize it in reality. It become my art. Onion Orion is
an interesting work. Ever since I made this work, whenever I look up at a starry sky, I see onions floating. And I think about
ancient people who put names to constellations, people who saw the Great Dipper in the sky."
