碩士 === 國立臺南大學 === 視覺藝術與設計學系碩士班 === 106 === This research explores the phenomenon of the othering of inner self-awareness as a creative theme. The study is mostly conducted from the perspective of self-awareness in psychology to analyze social-oriented self views concerning psychology, introverted feelings, and social psychology, and further explores the influence of the environment on the relationship between the self and othering. Applying the definitions of self-awareness proposed by Western psychologists Carl Gustav Jung (1875) and Sigmund Freud (1856), this study examines self-awareness while the othering phenomenon is approached from the social-oriented self views concept in social psychology and Jacques Lacan’s (1901) theory about the other. This research explores the various types of cognitive consciousness and investigates the connection between self-awareness and the creative libido, the relationship between the subject and the self, the connection between self and others, the extimacy between self-awareness and social-oriented self views, contradiction, and realizes the importance of independent thinking. This study is based on the foundation of Western psychology, while concepts of Eastern philosophy are also applied in sections throughout the work description, adding variety to the meaning and interpretation of the style of the works. The first chapter outlines research motives, methodology, and scope of the study. The second chapter explores the origin and categories of consciousness, mostly from the definition of self-awareness proposed by psychologists Carl Gustav Jung and Sigmund Freud and the concept of constructing self-concept in social psychology to investigate the phenomenon of othering, which further enables the exploration of the relationship between self-awareness and social-oriented self views and the connection between consciousness and creativity. The third chapter discusses creative concepts, the creative style of symbolic methods, and the expressions of two-dimensional and three-dimensional creative expressions, as well as the applied media and techniques. The fourth chapter is work analysis and is mainly divided into the description of the work series and individual works. The fifth chapter is the conclusion of the entire study, thoughts on the research of creativity, and plans for creative work in the future.
