The state of Suffering(Mental Therapy)

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Power of Art Unleashed! For me, art is like “mental therapy”. The state of suffering is the work that reflects my personal attitude toward my traumatic experiences in the past such as separating from my beloved ones for a long time. Emotions are transferred through the visual element “lines” which swirl and overlap with one another as if they were relationships tied down to feelings tightly. This results in a variety of shapes of human organs which look as if they were strong but actually fragile and changeable regarding emotions and feelings. I call such things “suffering”. However, whenever I create this art work, I get the pure feeling of happiness and relaxation. Therefore, art, in my view, is the power. It’s the power of mental therapy that can change sorrow into happiness, the Power of Art Unleashed.
