I
typically start by examining my personal experiences. I have a curious
personality and prefer to explore myself, my thoughts, and my surroundings. My
mind is constantly questioning and seeking answers.
I
feel that life has led me to a blank period. I am confused by everything that
is currently happening. It is as if there is a big question mark on my
forehead. No matter how much I try to find an answer, I never receive a
satisfactory one. As a result, I turned this experience into artwork because I
believe that what happened to me is not uncommon. There is always something
referred to as the collective unconscious.
After
continuing to research, I came across a classic topic about the crux of human
life: flesh and spirit. This topic is linked to my virtual world, which
represents the world inside my mind. I let my skin represent my physical
relationship with the outside world.
