This is my book, this is also myself
The book is called Twinning, and it's called Shuang in Chinese.
This book is my first attempt to explore myself, to try to understand myself, and to express myself
I tried to go back to the original form of me: born as a twin, raised as a twin, and seeing the world through the eyes of a twin
If you open my book, please look out for the twins in it
They may be identical, they may be quite different
They make up the world as I see it, and as I see myself.

My book is all about twins
I happen to have two eyes, two arms, two legs, I have a left brain and a right brain
I also have two iPads, two tables, two lamps, two closets in my room
I manipulate these twins like I manipulate my body.
I try to use twins to explain the relationship between my body and the material.
Plastic-Head
Wood-Torso
Metal-Hand
Fabric-Leg
I feel the connection between the material and my body, and I visualize it in the form of twin.
I am creating more twins, and more of me

I create things, I create books, I create twins, and I create myself
This is my book, it's called Twinning,
This is me, April,
Welcome to read my book, and me!
