“From the manifestation of my identity to criticism of society, my body of work may seem like a random constitution, but all artworks coherently revolve around the concept of ‘perspective’. Perspective refers to the point of view in which an individual sees an object. Perspective has the power to change the identity of an object completely, whether it is a world issue, a simple object, or even myself. Perspective can be personal or universal, and through this body of work, I aimed to explore this diverting concept not only through the meaning of the work, but also through the medium embodying physical perspective. Through an exhibition that requires active audience participation, I would like to criticize and encourage the viewers to see the full picture before judging and taking actions based on a limited perspective.

My pieces vary from 2D and 3D to digital media, but each work has a method of displaying two different perspectives, whether achieved through difference in distance, position, or even simply time spent to examine the work more closely. I have used photography, sponge painting, collage, wire sculpture, and 3D anaglyph, where each media adds to the meaning of the work, not only challenging the concept of perspective physically, but also contributing to the mood of each piece.

My exhibition has been arranged to flow in a manner that introduces and concludes my concept logically. To emphasize my theme of how one views and judges from a limited perspective, I arranged the pieces in a way where the audience would see one perspective at first, then by moving forward and advancing through the exhibition, they will see the second perspective. The first two pieces, 3D sculptures of birds called Introduction (1&2), introduce the perspective behind my identity. Next, we dive into various content, different physically and contextually, that explore human nature and criticize society: Spirituality, It Wasn’t Me (1&2), and Gray World. The context and media of each piece seems inconsistent, yet a coherent concept flows behind all works, and it is explained by the last piece So Close, Yet So Far. Depicting who I am as a person and artist, So Close, Yet So Far sums up the exhibition: just as my identity is formed through various characters and hobbies, although there are various ideas and media explored in my body of art, all come together to communicate one theme of perspective. By viewing my exhibition, I hope the audience will be able to apprehend of the power of perspective, to take initiative and look at things from different perspectives in order to grasp and understand its full identity."
