Fun Moments in My Private Space

Abstract

In creating my artwork under the theme “Moments of Joy in Personal Space,” during my childhood, I often felt lonely, having to stay at home during holidays with few friends to play or have fun with. However, within that solitude and enjoyment, it opened up more opportunities to converse with myself than seeking friends to play or talk to. As a result, when I was at home in my own private space, I would frequently imagine and visualize the areas and environments around my house—particularly the garden area where I regularly went to play. This sparked my imagination, transforming that space into various possibilities: places to play and enjoy with myself, and to create characters that I invented and drew from my imagination, inspired by comic books I had played with. I could also sense atmospheres that I might have seen on television— locations with structures rooted in reality blended with elements I fabricated in my fantasy. In those emotional moments, I played and found joy in that imagined place, allowing my thoughts and imagination to run wild and freely.My artistic influences are expressed through the style and emotions of the work via Expressionism, employing the intaglio printmaking process, specifically in the drypoint technique.
