exhibition
The theme of “Experience” deeply explores the inner experiences of the body and its external manifestations. Through a series of works, the exhibition presents the body as a potential tool for artistic creation, examining its flaws and pain, and how these factors influence our self-awareness and societal perception. In contemporary society, especially with the prevalence of social media, we are often required to present our most perfect selves, neglecting the body’s true and fragile nature. Through this exhibition, I hope to challenge the classical aesthetic view of the body and present a profound dialogue about the body’s imperfections, the beauty of scars, and societal expectations.
In my exploration of the body, I also extended my artistic practice by experimenting with the creation of soft sculptures. I stitched together fabrics, previously painted with parts of the body, to create freely positionable soft sculptures. This method broke the limitations of traditional sculpture, allowing the body’s imprints to be expressed in a more dynamic and expressive form. I also experimented with various sculptural materials to explore the pain and emotions carried by the body. These experimental works visually present the true state of the body and the stories behind them, challenging traditional notions of bodily beauty.
Through this series of works, I aim to explore the body’s limitations and potential, embodying a challenge to classical aesthetics and a visual representation of bodily pain. My creations not only showcase the body’s beauty and flaws but also reflect the real experience of individuals confronting their bodies in modern society. I hope that through this exhibition, the audience will reexamine the significance of the body and reflect on how, in the pursuit of perfection, we can embrace and cherish the body’s truth and imperfections.
