The “Missionaries and Cannibals" problem is a classic river-crossing puzzle where missionaries are devoured if they are outnumbered by cannibals.

In the installation, sushi boats floating in a sink contained by blue envelopes from the Dutch Tax Administration. During the artist’s time in the Netherlands, these blue letters frequently delivered complex tax information, gradually becoming a symbol of fear and alienation. Even after leaving the Netherlands, the artist continued to receive these blue envelopes, as if migration had never truly ended— constantly extracting and resurfacing the experiences of living there.

「傳教士與食人族」是經典的渡河遊戲，當食人族等於或是大於傳教士時，傳教士就會被食人族吞食。藝術家將傳教士反複地被吞食，比喻遷移者移居過程中所遇到的問題，透露著一不小心便會被吞食的無奈。

洗手槽內的壽司船包覆著荷蘭政府稅務局的藍色信封，居住於荷蘭的期間，藍色信件頻繁地傳遞繁瑣的稅務資訊。藍色信件逐漸變成一種恐懼與陌生的符號。甚至在搬離荷蘭後，依舊會持續收到藍色信件，似乎在提醒著遷徙尚未停止，並將居住於荷蘭時的感知反覆提取。
