My project began with structural imagery and the concept of barriers to communication. Then, it gradually develops into a work mode centered on learning through play and acting before thinking. It has been an invaluable exercise in the sense of pacing and reorganizing.
The form-making process involves a mix of geometric and organic elements. In mark-making, I shifted from initially focusing on the result experimenting with available tools — like acrylic paint, tissues, and ice — to balance intuition with rationality.
Initially, I pondered what makes a form visually striking and what types of marks can leave an impression. But as I started and reflected, the evolution of form was already underway.
RISO printing and copy machines introduced me to a surprise of chance. It benefits me to free the elements from their constraints and allow unexpected outcomes to take power, aligning with the work style I've always loved. Every copy's brightness brings a different result, and the direction of paper placement blends text and image. When I enlarge the images, what I see is no longer a whole, but each individual grain that forms it.
Throughout the project, I've sought to understand others' experiences and appreciated the diverse methodologies they've developed from personal insights, and during reviews, I became aware of the differences in each person's perception. These are all essential components of this project.
Playing cards, layers upon layers, randomness, images, and words, unmaking the need for meaning.
