She expands her interest in the practice of everyday life, exploring the abstract relationship and the narrative of objects.
Statement
My research sits on the composite idea of object and materiality, exploring the narrative behind them.
In our everyday life, the imagination of daily objects seems to be limited in some ways. However, I think we should be critical in interpreting its meaning and value. This is a series of found objects from different sources, they are used as another function beyond their nature unconsciously or accidentally. I try to disassemble the digital images of the objects into different parts, in order to form narratives of different dimensions.
Makeshift Objects
- Language
The name / language actives the objects and lead to people’s imagination.
- Shape
There is a divorce gap between shape itself and digital image.
- Materiality
The materiality represents some degree of its history / social mobility / culture identity in some ways.
- Description
The description includes the nature of the objects and its imaginary function.
- Image
- Moving Image
A visual essay to show how the objects form abstract narrative.
