This project was made when I under high pressure and I was really frustrated in my life. So,I didn’’t think to much, I only want to made something that will release the feeling and delight people. I use two weeks cutting plastic sheets and putting them together, and then throw it from forth floor. Watching it dropping feels like nothing can defeat me.

This series try to describe the cycle of discovering myself and losing mydelf. I divide it into four chapters, each chapter comes in different format, and media to express my feeling. I analogize myself a balloon which is hollow and easily blown away, It try hard flating itself to meet others expectation, however, it forgets the most relax way is to let go some air.

I thought I was a balloon.

I cannot feel the way I walk.

Today is long time ago.

I don’t know where to go.

You didn’t hold me.

Where will the wind bring me to?

What if it want you to marry its daughter?

Let the mouse be.

Does the mouse marry off its daughter too?

Think carefully, even if from a far distance, everyone will point you and say”how large the balloon is.”

EXPLORING ANOTHER

LIGHT

Our mentor is SABINE MARCELIS ,who is a light designer and running her own studio in Netherland.

She led us use different media to explore light in Boisbuchet. It’s quite enjoying to immerse in th nature and art both at the same time. All of my senses were opened to absorb the creativeness and vitality there.

I have the best experience of creating art ever.
