十多年前，「斷捨離」這個概念開始流行，大家努力地捨棄不必要的東西，擺脫對物件的執著。可是，人們隨手丟棄的東西，真的從此消失了嗎？或許，它們一直都在——或許被轉送到別人的手上；或許進駐了二手店；或許被埋進堆填區、推到焚化爐𥚃去；或許沉沒在海洋深處，及經過多年沉積、吸收日月精華後，有一天幻化成「精」……問題是，它們還在，一直都在，只是外觀型態不再一樣。如是者，我們與物件之間的關係從未改變，那邊界還是清晰的不得了，想把這邊界模糊不是那麼容易。

Over a decade ago, the notion of "decluttering" began to prevail. People gave away their unnecessary belongings to let go of material possessions and obsessions. Nonetheless, of the things that we casually discarded, where did they go? Perhaps they were still lingering around - they might be passed into other’s hands, found their way into second-hand stores, buried in landfills and sent to incinerators. Or, perhaps, they sunk deep into the depths of the ocean, where they underwent years of sedimentation, accumulated and absorbed the essence of nature through the passing of time until one day, transcended into immortal spirits… The question remains - these objects were never lost. All along, they still exist in different forms. The ambiguous demarcation between them and us remain undeniable. Blurring these lines is not as easy as it may seem.
