Abstract Details

2014, Master of Fine Arts, Ohio State University, Art.
I am interested in looking at the subtle and spiritual side of humanity. The body is both external and internal, we experience changes in mind and emotion with our body. The body as a subject can be a form through which we share our emotional experiences and remembrances. I try to capture inner psychological aspects through surreal facial expressions, subtle gestures and placement. The complexity and ambiguity of human feelings that come from the vulnerability and imperfection is a main idea of my work. I always attempt to investigate different narrative aspects of the figure and displays so as not to represent on a singular moment but to make space for a mysterious and changeable reading. Using subtle variations in form, texture and color the physical representation of an emotional state becomes changeable. My work consists of different sizes of figures and objects that interact with each other, creating connections and relationships, bringing new stories to the space. Complicated emotional interactions occur in human relationship. Nonverbal emotional cues, such as eye contact, facial expression, body posture, and interpersonal distance; these things speak broadly about the tangled thinking and feeling that occurs when we interact with other people. I'm interested in putting these ideas into physical forms by emphasizing them through placement and tactile manipulation.
