Digital Drawing, 2022, 2048 x 2048px

This project is a summary of my feelings during university life.
I found myself more relaxed talking to the air on a public platform than pouring out my negative emotions to people close to me. I felt that the thesis exhibition was another form of analyzing myself in front of the public, so I decided to transfer these emotions of mine into poems and drawings. The words and sentences used for the poems were all exactly the same ones selected from my posts on social media and I rearranged them into new poems. Since my first language is Chinese, I also provided a translated version of poems in English for the convenience of understanding. 
After finishing the poems, I wanted to give each poem a drawing. I tried to make the drawings as simple, clear and impactful as possible so that they would fit well with the poems.
Then, I made each of the images as 24 QR codes linked to 24 short videos posted on my Instagram account. Each video included the image itself, the recorded audio of me reading the poem in both Chinese and English.
As mentioned above, I am not very good at talking about my inner feelings with people close to me. However, I have a strong desire to talk. In this case, I see art as a way for me to show my inner self to others, a form of communication with the outside world. Through these poems, I want to empathize with strangers and at the same time tell people with the same emotions that you are not alone.
