   "..I likes travelling.. I have kept doing this job since I was 19."
The photographer, Ma, working in Taipei City now, had some ideas about
the place he lives. He thought that he was unhappy because concepts of
self-awareness toward the environment often stroke his brain. "It was 
clear that I did not handle the feelings toward the homeland well."

   So he went to anyplace to search the answers in his mind. Tokyo, Yo-
kuhama, Tohoku, and so on. "I knew that I cannot express the answers,
but the digital camera do to some extent." Yes. In the progress of sha-
ring the pictures, Ma wanted any symbols or soceity influences to take
the "right" places. "Because I was lonely, really lonely in the gaps of
90s and coming 21 centuries.."

   In the exhibition, you could find clues that nature hided. Or also,
you could reassembly any pieces of the memories into your newly under-
standing "maps". Anyhow, just to take a look at our islands, the exis-
ting islands.
