ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This is 35mm film photography (black and white), describing my time with depression. I see the surroundings, but I don't feel what I see. Looking at one negative (developed film), recalling the emotions I had the time I took the photo, then depicting the scene abstractly, projecting it onto a sheet of photographic paper. This series is about my dream-reality confusion (suffering from depression).
AUTHOR
My practice mainly discusses the effects of childhood trauma on mental health in adults.
My childhood trauma is the trigger, negative state in my mind draws out the depressing scenes, and I attempt to construct melancholic scenario in order to stimulate audiences’ emotion and be connected with the work is what I aim to.
I’ve been exploring and finding the balance between performance and sculpture, expressing intense perception direct to the audiences.
To reach completeness in order to demonstrate psychology -- mental health. With the aspect of performance, I've been exploring finding the balance between it and sculpture. With another aspect of printing, the way to install my sculptural performance in order to bring intensity to the viewers.
I tend to immerse myself into my damaging family context and my childhood trauma, bring awareness to society, disclosing what the effects are. Transforming my fears to braveness, I hope my work can bring the positivity to people who are traumatized in different circumstances (ie. child abuse, depression, lack of love).
Bringing viewers into a conversation of social problems, especially a child who’s suffering difficulties, lack of love and secure can trigger a serious mental health issue while growing up.
