拾荒
把一件商品带回家，你只需要付出金钱，和些许搬运商品的劳力。
把路上捡到的一样东西搬回家，需要的是与之相遇的缘分，还有不顾众人鄙视目光的勇气。
这样说来，能够从街边抱回的东西，价值大一些。
对我来说。
To bring a commodity home, you just need to pay, and, maybe some labour power to ship it home.
To bring a thing you pick on your road home, you need a serendipity to meet it, and the guts to bypass discrimination by others.
So, a rubbish is more worthy than a commodity.
To me.

Reflective Statement
Original post: emptyeasel.com
It’s extremely important to be self-aware as an artist.
We should always be thinking about our processes, our decisions, our strengths and weaknesses, and our prejudices. Knowing these things will help you learn from your mistakes and use your strengths to their fullest advantage.
When you become aware of the things you’re doing intuitively, you will be able to create strategies for yourself to overcome challenges in your art practice. You will also able to overcome the things you do that might be holding you back artistically.
One great way to become more self-aware is by writing a reflective statement.
