Summary

Final work

College School of Pre-Degree Studies

Course UAL Foundation Diploma in Art and Design

Graduation year 2025

I feel deeply grateful for my own works. They represent my ongoing exploration of what it means to live in this world—my emotions, my values, and how I perceive different things around me. Through images, they speak to me in my mind, and I record those fragments as they come. They are both my questions and my answers.

Through creating, I am not only trying to understand the world, but also to understand myself. The process often reveals parts of me I wasn’t fully aware of—fears buried deep inside, unspoken desires, or unresolved confusion. Each piece becomes a mirror, reflecting my identity, my memories, and the personal narratives that shape who I am.

For me, art is more than a form of expression—it is a process of questioning and exploration. In creating, I search for myself and slowly piece together my connection to the world around me.

Every act of creation feels like a journey, during which I constantly question and affirm who I am. My identity, cultural background, and life experiences all leave traces in my work. When I look back on my past pieces, I can clearly see my own growth and transformation. I also come to understand that certain thoughts and decisions, which I couldn’t articulate at the time, had already been quietly embedded in the images I created.

Art allows me to preserve a space of my own, even as I face the outside world. It is my shelter and my mirror; it is the one who asks the questions and the one who records the answers. Through making, I return to myself again and again, rediscovering who I am and learning to embrace the imperfect, contradictory, yet truthful parts of me.
