Trans-dimensional Coexistence: I No Longer Hold You But I See You

We live in a world where impermanence is the only lasting truth. Fleeting moments and fading relationships reoccur in our lives, but the journey continues, nonetheless. My practice projects my individuality onto universal connections between humans through depicting worlds full of colorful imaginations, experiences, creatures, and figures. I draw inspiration from work by Inka Essenhigh, Yoko Ono, and Pipilotti Rist, studying contemporary artists’ use of colors, materials, and audience participation to make an array of works from paintings to an interactive installation as my final work. Additionally, I look into historical sources about mythical creatures and religious beliefs to enhance my understanding of various perspectives of humans’ interests in illusions and faiths. Bridging the worlds I created together, this thesis explores my concept of trans-dimensional coexistence, where everything will be reconnected in the end.
