Throughout the journey exploring a variety of art pieces, forces that drag me
to think and reflect on myself inspired me to investigate how art delivers
emotions towards the audience. The power art held attracted and
differentiated people due to the unique feelings achieve from experiencing
art. Which revealed me to its importance and purpose for investigation.
Based on previous experiences, we may see the world differently, feel the
world in several perspectives, and also think in various ways. Therefore, the
same art piece may have different meanings and values based on the
audience and their experiences. I have developed and adapted several
different types of mediums during the course of my journey, including oil
paint, sculpture, and digital art. With a special space left in each art piece for
the audience to create its meaning, I hope to take the audience on a
reminiscence and reflecting journey during the exhibition. Even in one art
piece, there could be several different messages behind stimulating the
audience’s feelings.

MEDIUM OIL PAINT ON CANVAS
When a beam of sunlight irradiating half of your face
on a blue Saturday night, what pops in your mind?
The contrast of warm and cold hue of the painting
creates a comparison between several feelings and
arouses emotions of the audiences. The rigid facial
expressions of the woman reflect common scenes of
feeling heads in the clouds during times. Relating it to
reality up surging memories that are vivid and
congealed…

MEDIUM ACRYLIC PAINT ON CANVAS
The motion of free fall displays inside a stopped
image through the form of movie media. The creation
of an art piece that reveals periodical stages shows
more movement. In this painting, the combination of a
dynamic and static contrast creates a tension beyond
the audiences. The black and white usage of colors
serves this contraction making it more strong and
powerful. Where does one go when he suffers
depression, where does he fall?

WHERE I AM

PAINTING
MEDIUM OIL PASTEL
A Tibet girl stood in front of the city sky lines,
confused, not known where to go and where
to belong. Identity confusion inside her
disturbed her, leaving her alone while forcing
her to face this world by herself. This
painting reveals the social issue of identify
confusion, initiating the world to accept more
and more culture, be aware of more and
more immigrants or people who stand on a
strong belief in this rapidly developed
society.

WHO I AM
53X72CM
PAINTING
MEDIUM DIGITAL
Being born with hypocrisy of human nature
all of us live a life as a play, wearing either a
transparent or solid facial mask that protects
us from the danger of society. The smooth
texture created through digital paint provides
a harmonious atmosphere but contrasts with
the background message of this art piece.
This contraction reminds people of the reality
of hypocrisy in the human world, leaving
questions that reflect our identities that we
play in our lives.

WHERE I COME FROM
50X70CM
PAINTING
MEDIUM DIGITAL
I’m black, white and yellow. I come from this world.
The main concept of this painting is focused on the
display of the human nature and the truth between
every single individual. I treat every trait on the
human body as a piece of beauty in the final
painting, showing that no matter what you heritage
made you look like, you are one of the society, not
only do you belong, you fight for your own rights
and every single one of us is equal. Furthermore,
this unit may indicate the reality of human nature
and their beauty not only on the outside but deep in
the inner heart, everyone flows the same blood.

PHOTOGRAPHY
MEDIUM DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
The main idea of this art piece is to
commemorate the corona virus that has
stroke the cities. Photography records the
life of people during this special period and
reflects how it has changed our normal
lives. Through photography the most direct
image reflects our lifestyles, appealing the
audience to be appreciative of living and
being healthy on this world.

Emotions accompany people as we start to feel several different tastes of

created through digital art, a smooth texture reminds the audience of how
sweet and soft love brings to us. Through touching one’s deep heart by
the image that is portrayed, everyone may different, being either sweet or
sour based on their previous experiences. Give one a sweet hug, since
warmth spreads starting there. Guess if there is love spreading around…

THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

MEDIUM MIXED MEDIUM
Every story of one’s life puts together a puzzle, and this puzzle leads
towards a final success. Through the process, we all struggle to keep
hanging on the cliff of hard times. However, sometimes we fail,
sometimes we success, sometimes we take advantages of others, we
make friends, we betray others, we fight with humanity and emotions,
just to climb to the highest top of the cliff.
