During the residency period, I have been collecting the grass from the neighborhood. Transforming the gallery into an imaginary cow cage. As an artist from the third world, residency to the centrer become one of the ultimate aims to overcome the border and boundaries. But at the same time, there are a lot of questions about power relation that often come from my internal feelings, is life outside the border really is always better? Or at the end, we ended up as a dairy cow ?
