My chosen theme is evocative luminance, this project aimed at using light as an art form to trigger emotions. I used optical fiber fabric, organza silk and nylon gauze to make my artwork. My design is surround the topic ---- ocean, the mother of our lives. The layering of silk is to simulate the waves, while the other fabric adds texture and realness to the art. Meanwhile, when the optical fiber fabric lights in the darkness, it creates a sense of a dreamily scene that I almost feel myself in a cartoon. And when I hold this piece of ocean, it creates a sense of surrealism. I personally have strong feelings of the ocean, but I had never been there before. So every time I saw my design, I felt homesickness, sadness and loneliness. I am alone in the dark room and holding this fake, digital ocean to accompany myself, imagining that I was hugged by my mother.
