Piece of Pleasure

**Kseniia Serykh: *Nachtluft riecht besser***

Who is the keeper of memories? Regardless how good or bad they have been, they keep people hostage of those emotions. As Haruki Murakami said: *“No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.”* But what if the only choice to move on is to leave them behind? The same goes in this story, like foggy night air memories surround us, leaving the question what to do with them floating around.

**Ji-Eun Lee: *A Story of ‘I’***

*‘I’ as me, myself, and ego. Multiple paths to ‘I’. Whichever way ‘I’ takes, ‘I’ approaches ‘I’. ‘I’ never changes, but the path and timeline change. Within ‘I’ there exist uncountable names.*

This piece explores multiple identities of ‘I’. By describing multiple ways of observing the world surrounding ‘I’, this piece shows either how meta recognition of ‘I’ manifests in human perception of the world in which ‘I’ exists or, alternatively, how ‘I’ may be unable to recognise itself in the context of its own existence.
