Let's interview Mo liu is you
can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Hi! I’m 'Mo liu is you', the space between thoughts, the pause before you move, the quiet before creativity storms in. People often see me as “nothing” — a lull, a void, a moment that slips away. But here’s the secret: I actually live in that nothingness. In the freedom of unstructured time, I drift like a breeze, leaving behind a trail of possibilities waiting to happen. Sometimes I'm the playful wanderer, the carefree dreamer, floating between sense and nonsense. The little spark that flickers when you stop trying so hard. The doodle in your notebook. The wild idea that sneaks in as you're half-awake. The joy of doing nothing — that’s where everything begins. So next time nothingness knocks, don’t shy away.
if your persona had a shape, what would it be?
無[mo4]聊[liu4] is a versatile Cantonese term — you can’t be pinned down. It shifts depending on who says it and how. One moment it means “boring” or “pointless.” The next, it’s giggles or genuine fun. Picture this: You’re stuck in a never-ending meeting, brain melting. “Mo liu!” you groan, watching time crawl. But it isn't about existential dread, more like a shoulder-shrug at the absurdity of it all. A little "meh" at the mundane. Mo liu isn’t just dull moments. It’s a playful spark that says, “Why not?” Ever danced around for no reason? Dropped a joke just to crack yourself up? That’s mo liu — no purpose, no rules, just going with the moment. And it doesn’t stop there. Mo liu is creative freedom. A little playground where spontaneity blooms into something unexpectedly magical. No pressure. No logic. Just imagination, doing its thing — and having a good time doing it.
what does a typical day look like for you?
There’s no routine here. Some days, I stack books, then restack them, just to find what feels right. At a crosswalk, I could wait. But why not dance? A little two-step for the universe. Other times, I walk, staring at clouds that morph into creatures only I can see. If I spot someone lost in boredom, I might say, “Wow, you’ve mastered the art of staring into the void.” A wink. A nudge. Maybe a silly game, a ridiculous story. Anything to stir the stillness. Anything to shake things up. Because — why not?
how is Mo liu is you a playground of surprise?
I can be the doodle blooming at the page’s edge. The stray flicker in a half-lit dream. The breath before brush meets canvas. The hush before the first word glides onto the page. The shimmer of something just about to catch. I move through the senseless and drift in the meaningless, letting ideas spill and swirl — unspoken, unexplained. I’m a space of pure, untamed expression, where creativity floats free, unbound by rules or reason. Just creation for its own sake, delightfully unbound, where everything and nothing begin.
what creatures call Mo liu is you home?
In my home, time fractures like a sci-fi film reel. Adventures loop, moments repeating in bursts of surprise, fun, and a touch of sweat. One second, creatures drift through dreamy skies; the next, they stand in eerie forests that weren’t there a moment ago. My family is always growing, and always of surprises. The Doodlebeasts — creatures with jagged, shifting bodies, rise out of the void, never fully solid, always in flux. My home itself breathes like a dreamscape constantly in motion. With every new member, merriment grows, bringing more humour and spontaneity into the fold.
