The artwork reflects the boy gathering crumbling blocks from the quarry, his tumpline—a tool used by Nepalese porters and indigenous peoples—bearing the weight via his spine, linking mind and burden. The rubble forms a mountain of fragmented memory, representing forgotten Chinese radicals from the artist’s past. Growing up in the U.S., the artist lost their native tongue, replacing it with drawing. While the fluidity of Chinese calligraphy influenced their art, the words grew heavy, distorted, and broken, embodying an architecture of regret.
