✹ The Moon
23rd September 2021
It’s finally here, the first exhibition outside campus, luckily we got to show our works during design week. Along with other artists and students from other universities There are quite a mixture of things - painting, print making, installation art, furniture design, fashion and craft. I exhibited 2 projects that I submitted - fan project and Wawwow collection. Shown in this image above - the moon, 2021.
The moon,2021‘Change is the only constant’ that, I found, is the similarities of life and shininess. It changes, inevitably all the time, especially during lockdown, the stillness of everything makes every tiny change looks much obvious than it was. Shininess attracts eyes because its mutability, its appearance change according to the surrounding space - light and time. As well as ourselves, gradually we change.
There’s the philosophical question that ask - what makes you the same person as you 5 years ago? Probably every cell in your body, including your brain, may have change. You don’t wear the same clothes anymore, have different music taste, enjoy different company - then what makes you the same you?
Well that’s quite off the subject - but the point I want to make is that we have changed all the time - mentally (we have exposed to the new experiences, then we learn from there and we are different person from yesterday, a little bit) or physical (our cell has changed, we grow up and grow old every second) and that’s the beauty of life!
Same as shininess, without changing the appearance, without reflection from the outside world, it wouldn’t make reflective surface as it is.
Indeed, I feel this is a great start for me to explore my practice, with the combination of functional and non functional object that lay under the same context, I love that along the year I explore this subject with material driven method which I’ve never done before. I’m really excited to push it more in the future, but right now I’d like to take this opportunity to appreciate this work for a moment ;)
