『平常每天下午我都要打開冰箱，拿出一些冷凍的食材等解凍，然後再烹煮它們。我注意到冷凍和解凍的過程類似攝影。它們都在處理同樣的問題，試圖讓時間發生某種質的改變。在冷凍食物時，它們會像照片一樣從時間流中取出。當它們解凍時，時間就被釋放了。在緩慢的解凍過程中，時間概念變得混亂。本書的這些照片便在這種狀況下誕生。這些冷凍物除了討論時間本身之外，也傳達了我因為女兒的到來而導致的生活急劇變化的不確定性的焦慮。』
In my daily life, every afternoon I have to open the refrigerator, take out some frozen ingredients, wait them to thaw, and then do the cooking. At the time I noticed that the process of freezing and thawing is similar to photography. They both deal with the same problem, trying to make some kind of qualitative change of time. While freezing foods, they are taken out from the time flow, like the photos being taken. As them thawing, the time is released. In the slow thawing processes the time concepts are messed. These time processes are taken into photos that show time itself. The “Thawing Time” means not only the time frozen objects need to get thawed but also the cumulative time the films exposed. In addition, it raises discussions of the time ontology: the photos of thawing do not keep the section of some time nor the basis of time is not through the distinction of now and past, it is time flow, the way people fight against the time. Expect the presenting of time itself, the piece also conveys the uncertainty of the rapid change of life due to the arriving of my new family member.
