不知是否有人和我壹樣，在寫信的時候會用復寫紙墊在下面，將寄出的信件留壹份底。信件是在壹來壹回之間產生情愫的，但是奇怪的是，我們總會將他人的信件小心珍藏，卻忽視了自己寄出的那壹份。記憶是脆弱的，在時間的作用下我們甚至連曾經書寫過的內容都會忘記，循環便在忘卻的那壹瞬間終止了。
於是我將信紙做成壹式兩份，在書寫的同時底下的紙也被印上了壹模壹樣的內容，就如同影子，既是信件的影子，也是自己的影子。也許在多年之後，再次翻看自己曾經寫過的書信，上面的字體，慣用的語句以及或稚嫩或青澀的修辭，會很有趣吧。
I don't know if there is someone like me who is used to padding the letter with carbon paper and leaving a copy. Sincere feelings appear as letters come and go. Strangely, we always treasure other people's letters carefully, but ignore the one we send. Memory is fragile. With time passing by, we even forget what we have written and the cycle ends at the moment of forgetting.
So I make the letter paper in duplicate. While written, paper below is as like as two peas. Just like the shadow, it's not only the shadow of the letter, but also that of oneself. Maybe after many years, it will be interesting to read the letters again we have written, including the font, the usual sentences and the immature or green rhetoric.
