Echoes 2016-2022
"I have suffered the atrocity of sunsets.
Scorched to the root
My red filaments burn and stand, a hand of wires."
“Now I break up in pieces that fly about like clubs.
A wind of such violence
Will tolerate no bystanding: I must shriek.”
"I am inhabited by a cry.
Nightly it flaps out
Looking, with its hooks, for something to love."
——By Sylvia Plath

Your traces
In my spare time, I like to wander around the cemetery, which gives me a sense of peace and tranquility. I read the words on the tombstone and guess the life of the deceased. Oneday I noticed some letters on the tombstone had fallen off, so I wrote down these fallen letters and input them into AI to let AI write a poem using only these letters.
In this way, I am trying to retrieve and rewrite the lost memories and traces.
