The artist proceeds with “decoration” this time by incorporating the idea of displacement. It is an attempt to construct a dialogue between individuals and spatial matters like surrounding environments. The articles scattered on the fourth floor resemble “ornaments”. They come from everyday life yet are divorced from all its aspects. The “cabinet” presented on the fifth floor is an overall “reconstruction,” where a narrow space is applied to connect the interior and the exterior of the building, emphasizing their separation and interdependence. The artist employs objects to question objects and spaces to question spaces, thus resisting the order.

《装修：错置》，2018年，混凝土、水泥板、铁片、铁丝、钢筋、树脂、地漏、色粉、瓷砖、金属、镜子、猫眼，尺寸可变。由艺术家与东画廊惠允。

艺术家此次采用错置的概念进行“装修”，试图在个体与周遭环境等空间事物之间建立对话。分散在四楼的物件像是“装饰”，与日常生活若即若离。而呈现于五楼的“陈列柜”是一次整体“改造”，一个逼仄的房间将建筑物的内部与外部连接，强调二者相互分隔又相互依存的关系。艺术家以物反问物、以空间质询空间，由此对抗平静。
