The idea of “leaking” was from my memory of childhood. When I was young, I used to live in an old house with a ceiling that leaked. It was my job to find the leaking points and set up bowls to catch the rain drops.

Based on the memory of leaking ceilings, I decided to recall the image of “leaking” to express my status of being intruded upon. The first private space I made was only to block myself from the influence of the outside world. But in this work, I tried to let the intruder “in.” Ink dripped on me and made some patterns on my space. As I mentioned in The Book of Ink, ink was used as a symbol of information?a new intruder I had to deal with. It was a gesture to accept the intruder in a positive way, as I accept the rain drops as enjoyable intruders.
