Where Do I Come From? / (zh) 我從哪裡來 is a hand built ceramic stoneware sculpture in the form of an oversized fortune cookie. Finished with iron oxide wash, and fired to 1,305 °C in a gas kiln, the work has a dark, weathered surface that shifts between burnt brown, black, and exposed clay.

The fortune cookie shape is still recognizable, but the surface changes the way the object feels. Instead of being light, sweet, or decorative, it becomes heavy, worn, and a little damaged. The folds and edges hold more oxide, making the piece feel like it has been through pressure, heat, and time.

Text is carved across the ceramic body. Some words are still visible, while others are scratched away or blurred by the oxide wash. The writing does not give one clear answer. It appears more like fragments, traces, and interruptions. Language becomes part of the surface, almost like a scar left on the object.

The work plays with what we expect from a fortune cookie. Normally, the message is hidden inside, but here the message has moved onto the outside. Even then, it cannot be fully read. Through this familiar form, the piece reflects on origin, language, memory, and the difficulty of belonging clearly to one place.
