"Dream - November 22nd, 1996.
I caught three magpies, I was so happy. I brought them home in a cloth bag. I found two cages and put them in there. I said to them: I will set you free after I finish my painting. Then the magpies in the cage attracted many small birds of different kinds. "
"梦1996.11.22
我抓住三只喜鹊，我高兴极了。我用布口袋把它们装回家后，我又找到二只鸟笼，把它们关在里面。我对它们说：等我画完了再放你们飞。此时放在小笼子里的喜鹊引来一大群其它的小鸟。"
