| dc.description.abstract | This thesis artwork conveys the stories and emotions of my childhood
memories shared with my sister, through the lens of our relationship. My sister has a
communication impairment; she has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our family
consists of three members: my mother, myself, and my sister. My parents are
separated, and my mother works in the city every day. This has created a very close
relationship between me and my sister, as I spend the most time with her in the
family, from the moment we wake up until bedtime. Because of her autism, my sister
is very emotionally volatile. When she's playing, she's cheerful, smiling broadly, and
laughing loudly, but a few minutes later, she can cry. Every day, we share routines:
we play video games together, we make dolls from clay, I draw and she colors, she
loves playing with water and cooking. When she needs something, I'm the only one
who truly understands her. Currently, I'm studying abroad and don't visit my sister as
often. I miss our childhood together, and this has inspired this thesis artwork. I express
these feelings through paper cranes, symbolizing hope and our bond, adapting their
shapes to represent various poses. To connect with the concept of the artwork, I
wanted to convey feelings of nostalgia, happiness, warmth, connection, and the
joyful atmosphere of the time we spent together. The creative process emphasizes
simple lines, colors, and styles, similar to my sister's drawings, to express purity,
cheerfulness, and innocence. This reflects the values of love and affection, which are
fundamental to life and the inspiration for my art. This artwork is created using the
planographic process, specifically lithography. | en_US |
