Genuinely Fringe
We are not human at all.
When we detach ourselves with the physical human body and reflect upon what is “human”?
Reflecting upon the humans being different from other species maybe because humans have the ability to emote with others; and as human beings, some things are unexplainable by science. For example, the sense of touch, enjoyment of music, noticing the difference between four seasons, sightseeing, admiring others, etc.
Enjoy temperature.
Performing Artists / Chuang Po-Hsiang

Created by Barbie Lee, “N to E” stands for “NOTHING to EVERYTHING.” It’s an adventure and also a journey of life. Sometimes the more we have, the more likely we feel empty. But when we start from nothing, we are more likely to cherish everything we already have. We hope that the spirit of “N to E” can also reflect its name. With a “nothing” mindset, we embrace everything we have, and finally move people’s heart.
