Journey in Childhood

Abstract

The thesis project titled “Journey in Childhood” conveys a narrative of memory imbued with the atmosphere of pure and innocent adventure experienced during youtha period when the world appears vast, filled with excitement, and rich with new discoveries at every step. Childhood journeys are not merely physical movements from one place to another; rather, they represent the accumulation of experiences, joy, and imagination that gradually shape the identity of the creator. The imagery of long, stretching roads and the surrounding landscapes is employed as a symbolic representation of the path of growth. These elements reflect the feeling of stepping out into the wider world with a heart full of curiosity. Each route serves as a fragment of memory, leaving subtle traces within the mindsimple yet deeply meaningful and valuable.The use of the silkscreen printmaking technique allows vibrant colors to emerge with dynamic vitalityThese colors function not only as visual elements but also as representations of emotion, sensation, and the energetic spirit of childhoodfull of playfulness, innocence, and freedom. The vivid palette enhances the sense of movement within the journey, evoking the experience of revisiting those moments once again.This body of work can thus be regarded as a visual record of the “traces of adventure” from youth, expressed through a gentle and evocative artistic language. It invites viewers to embark on a reflective journey back to their own childhood memories, reconnecting with- the simple yet profound happiness that may have faded over time, but continues to resonate within their inner feelings.
