I Am Not a VaseI am not a vase,

I am a glowing lottery machine.

I push all my youth chips onto the table —

lights flash,

the crowd cheers or sighs.My skirt is the roulette wheel,

my body is the dice,

every spin bets on one question:

Is today enough for tomorrow?

This “youth feast” tastes sweetest

just before it ends.I am not a vase.

I am gambling.I stake my most beautiful years on a single table.

Win — applause.

Lose — tomorrow.So I keep half my chips aside,

to learn new skills, new languages,

to learn how to stand on a stage without lights.

Because the smartest gambler

never puts all eggs in one basket.DancerBlind one,

if you can walk by sound alone,

then darkness is also your stage.

Turn your weakness into chips,

turn silence into melody,

turn pity into applause and cash —

is it still a weakness then?I will design the most gorgeous costumes for you,

so your blind steps become the brightest light.

With every spin,

you tell the world:

I won the bet.Jiangnan in Ink

Kawaii Tokyo

South African Black VaseThree different landscapes,

one same gamble.

I place my bets in misty ink rivers,

roll the dice under pink neon lights,

and see my reflection in an obsidian vase —I am not a vase.

I am a spinning, glowing,

thinking, never-yielding

gambling machine.

ProtectionThis work satirizes AV actresses, strippers, and other sex workers.

The money comes fast, but it has no long-term future — it is the classic kind of job that lives off your youth.It reminds us to learn from smart businessmen:

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Use part of the income to learn new skills and prepare for life after leaving the stage.

Dancer Blind person, if you can walk by sound,if your “weakness” can make money, is it still a weakness? I hope to help more disabled people live rich and dignified lives through designing costumes and blind dance performances.

This specially designed lottery machine does not have to be absolutely fair, nor does it have to involve stripping.

There are many ways to play, with entertainment as the core. I hope customers can leave happily even if they lose money, and say to the gambling company:

“That was fun! If I want to lose money next time, I’ll still choose you guys!”
