I am a digital artist who explores the themes of what people would do if they fall into despair. In today’s society, people due to negative thoughts and stress and leads to despair are increasing, including me. Every time when the despair has come to find me, chaotic thoughts would come up to my mind. During these times, I will always find something that would make me able to float on the sea of despair, instead of sinking to the bottom. As I said in the beginning, many people are in despair, and like me, they will continuously find something to not sink to the bottom of despair. Would they try to create an imaginary friend? Or to hold a living funeral to get rid of the past self? Or would they decide to escape to a pipe dream? Maybe they would find religion to rely on? These thoughts become my ideas, and with drawing inspirations from artworks, artist’s background stories, books and conversations with people in daily life, which turns out to be a story telling art piece.
My artwork was created by digital, making the digital drawings into moving graphics and putting them together to create an animation. By deeply integrating color with narrative and emotional aspects – for example, using variations in color saturation and hue to reflect the characters’ emotional journeys – and further employing different music to correspond with different scenes, the audience is unconsciously drawn into the story, which creates an immersive atmosphere.
