Where creativity means purpose

IDENTITY Exhibition VI / In Another Voice

2014

To visualize the essential concept of diversity and relate it to the name of the show, I utilized four concentric circles to symbolize sound waves. Meanwhile, the title of the show was realigned and placed on different circles and each of the words had different directions to read, which represented how different aesthetic approaches can lead to the same destination.

Kalavinka Studio

In China, Kalavinka Studio is one of the earliest studios focused on spreading Buddhist culture to the public. They advocate that the concepts behind Buddhism can be the solutions to the frustrations of modern life. After thoroughly researching Buddhist history, culture and art, I built the graphic of two palms being put together devoutly, which is used as a greeting between believers. Meanwhile, it is also a behavior to remain at peace and to exclude other thoughts from the mind. The small curving shapes at the edge represent ﬂame, which is also an important symbolic sign of Buddhism, which indicates the light in the heart that can disperse darkness. The line style was inspired by ancient Buddhist murals.

The Kite / 风筝

This group of work is based on a story I wrote, which was inspired by a talk with Erik Brandt when he mentioned a teacher from Japan in his college-days. Thousands of overseas students are ﬂown all around the world, like kites, year in and year out. The life in a disparate sky makes many of them tired to be tied down by the kite lines. But I know I can’t cut it, for without a fetter far away from my hometown, I won’t be a free bird, but a falling kite.
