三 缺 一 Three Without One 
Morine Liang

Taking a collection of newspaper clippings by local tabloid newspaper, 新明日报Shin Min Daily News as a starting point, these selected clippings with articles ranging from beauty ads to stories of human affect, are the father’s messages to his daughter. In turn, the daughter responds to both content and medium as an artist.
