| Summary: | 碩士 === 東海大學 === 美術學系 === 107 === My thesis desdribes myself with an external image as an easy-going person, but inside I am lonely and see myself as air. Air is colourless and odourless, which cannot be seen nor touched. However, it fills our surroundings. It has to be carefully observed in order to notice the slightest presence and change of it. I seem to be friendly, but rather alone inside. It is hard for people to read my mind and real emotions. But deep in my heart, I want to be understood by others. Though my unnoticeable move and behavior, the ‘Air’ could become readable. The technology becomes more advanced nowadays, communication between people changes from face-to-face conversations to messages on monitors. People are friendly but alone. They are more comfortable on the internet than in the real world.
My works present in different shades of red. Red always represents enthusiasm, but at the same time, it brings out anxiety and nervousness. Both positive and negative feelings come from the same colour. These adjectives describe the red colour and me, which cannot
be substituted by other colours. Drawing self-portrait is a way to force me to face myself. ‘I’, in the drawing, am a therapist to heal me, making me to understand and accept myself. If I compare my works to beef noodles, the red colour will be the soup containing all the
ingredients; ‘I’ in the drawing will be the beef; and the patterns will be the carrots. Although carrots are not the main ingredients of beef noodles, they are essential in brightening the whole dish. Patterns in my works take the supporting role, helping to present the emotions inside my heart.
