The fenced soil is my garden. In my consciousness, I am its dictator - deciding which plants to protect and which ones to remove. Those unwelcome plants are what I call "weeds." From the moment of their definition, these "weeds" have begun a lifelong struggle with me, turning this plot of land into a competitive ground for needs and a battlefield for aesthetics.
These "weeds" each have their own names, but those names are hardly known or cared about by anyone. They are collectively referred to as "weeds," becoming the nameless ones, the nobodies.

囲まれた土壌は私の庭です。私の意識の中では、私はその独裁者です――どの植物を守り、どの植物を取り除くかを決定します。私にとって望ましくない植物は「雑草」と呼ばれます。その定義が形成された瞬間から、これらの「雑草」と私は一生にわたる闘いを始め、この土地を需要の競争の場や美的な戦場に変えてしまいます。
これらの「雑草」はそれぞれに独自の名前を持っていますが、その名前はほとんど知られず、また誰も関心を持ちません。そのため、彼らは総じて「雑草」と呼ばれ、無名の存在，無名の者になるのです。
