在遷移後的棲居，如何覺知“我”歸屬於何方？ 《回流》運用 3D 掃描將緬甸華人聚落於台灣新北市的中和華新街，異時與異境的掃描結果編織結合，置入於重新建構的空間座標中，試圖呈現我時常在這條街上拼湊著記憶與想像，關於擁有緬甸華人身份的母親兒時的成長環境，以及「回」華人社會的共存狀態與文化縮影。 此作品在過往的創作脈絡以及關於自身的世代交替中，是重要的銜接與轉捩點，在探討科技演進與生命情感的交會處時，同為異境與歸屬等提問，並且在歷史和未來的發展中，成了不一樣卻相似的生命課題。因為我逐漸意識到，那隱隱的不適感是來自現實世界已深陷在網路科技的殖民與操控之下，讓看似從未改變過的故里，在無形之中成為異地，而在我心中的那股鄉愁，是還沒有任意被網路科技入侵的地方，雖然我出生在網路時代，但我的生命中曾有部分經歷過尚未出現智能產品普遍化的年代。 是否，最屬於我們的棲居之所，其實就在心中最深處的地方？

After settling down post-migration, how do I perceive where “I” exist? Remigrate uses 3D scanning to capture the images of Burmese Chinese people who have settled in Huaxin Street, located in New Taipei City, Taiwan. A combination of different surroundings at different times are placed into a reconstructed space coordinate. On this street, I often try to piece together and visualize the childhood memories of my mother, who is Burmese Chinese, while pondering over the coexistence state and cultural microcosm of people who have “remigrated” back to Taiwanese society. I use this as reference for my current situation, which consists of many different yet similar life lessons. I gradually realized that we are currently trapped under the colonization and manipulation of Internet technology. It has unknowingly turned our timeless hometown into a foreign place, and the homesickness that resides within my heart is the only place that has yet to be invaded by intelligent technology. To me, the distant light represents the ideal world that humans currently long for, projecting their sense of belonging to a certain inaccessible place, being attracted by it, and constantly looking towards it. Perhaps, the place we belong is deep inside our hearts.
