193 Postcards
193 postcards with map centered on different country (193 member states of the United Nations) and the word “home” in official language of each country (translated by Google translate). All postcards are sent as postcard from Taiwan, a UN non-member, to the exhibition place.

What’s in a name? In Chinese, “country” combines “nation” and “home”, inseparable in ancient belief. Language unites and divides us. It serves as a universal guide in search of our place in the world. As we seek a new home, is it acceptable to leave behind our native language, which binds us to both: our past and our sense of belonging?
