From afar, it looks like a grayish white reef yet you will find out it is a cave reef made of woven wire and threads in the solid and the latticed pattern. There are layers of nets with bits and pieces of the residency. So, this tranquil space interlaced with reality and the otherness. Is it a trap? Or is it an imagination drown in the changing future? Or this will provide a space for women to store their crops the following spring, and become a fantastic landscape among the green paddies? The snapshots of life Aichin captured in the cave, is the real lives occurred in the village. They were the “now” when she took them, and also the future, and the past. She asked everyone who came into the cave “What does this cave of reality and otherness captured?”
