「人們離鄉背景只因心中有著想要前往的所在。
由於生活周遭充滿了各國人士,常會一時之間忘記我來自日本,
及至看見鏡子裡的倒影,才猛然發現我是黑頭髮與黑眼珠的亞洲人。
漂泊得越遠,融入得越多,就越能到達一個可以深刻凝望自身的境地,
以一種全新的目光。
看著堆起如小山的行李箱,眼前浮現的是它們背後的人們所過的生活。
他們為何遠離家園,尋找他方?
又為何踏出這段旅程?
我遙想著他們啟程出發的那一天,在那一個清晨裡心中所懷抱的感受。」

“People leave their hometowns with a destination in mind.
Living among people of different nationalities, I suddenly forget that I am Japanese.
Looking at yourself reflected in a mirror, you realize for the first time that you have black hair and black eyes.
The further you drift and the more you mix, the more you arrive at a place that allows you to stare hard at yourself, anew.
When I look at a heaping pile of suitcases, all I see is a corresponding number of human lives.
Why did these people leave the place they were born, in search of some destination?
Why did they go on this voyage?
I think back on the feelings of these people on the morning of their departure. ”
