| dc.description.abstract | This thesis project aims to present the narratives and emotions that arise within
my thoughts, grounded in life experiences and the effort of self-development amid
the contexts of family and society. It draws upon concepts of human development,
which view growth as a continuous and ever-changing process shaped by varying
experiences and environments. However, I have found that self-development does
not proceed in a linear progression; rather, it is a process of recurrence and cyclical
movement within the mind and psyche. This perspective aligns with existentialist
thought (Existentialism), which suggests that human beings constantly confront
uncertainty, conflict, and questions about their own existence.
This body of work, therefore, seeks to explore and reflect the internal state of
“Inward steps” which does not merely signify forward movement, but also
encompasses returning, becoming stuck, and striving to break free from one’s own
constraints. I present these ideas through a socially reflective perspective, using
personal experience as the basis for interpretation. The concepts are conveyed through
symbolic formsnamely stairs and handswhich represent movement, effort, and human
limitations, in conjunction with environments that depict various situations influencing
the process of development. | en_US |
