One night among twenty-eight
the moon chose this direction.
It has been resting here since before you arrived.
You always knew which way to sit.

Exhibition wall text

Your birthdate is a celestial address. The ancient system of 二十八宿 divided the night sky into twenty-eight lunar mansions, tracking where the moon lodged each night. Su, where the moon rests. One of those nights was yours. Five Vietnamese low stools mark the four palaces of East Asian astro-cosmology and their shared center, each inhabited by a Gelora: a hybrid being reanimated from fallen flowers, dwelling now in its directional station. Five fabrics in five palace colors drift inward from each stool, gathering and intermingling at center where the yellow cloth coils in a slow spiral. Rest your phone on the tile in front of your seat. Your mansion opens. The Gelora has been waiting in the house the moon keeps for you.
