dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses the establishment of a new connection between my internal and external world through breaking personal boundaries and transforming geometric forms in artwork. While my inner world is highly organized, my outer world appears disorderly. However, imperfection adds to the world's beauty, and the ultimate goal of this paper is to allow the audience to grasp this transformation and gain a new perspective on life through my artwork. The final form that I present remains faithful to the original forms while meeting the desired outcome of conveying the transformative power of breaking personal boundaries and embracing shortcomings in the external world. This experience brings both my audiences and me a new perspective on life. Using wood as a material in art can help bridge the gap between the internal and external worlds. The process of working with wood can be meditative and introspective, enabling the artist to connect with their inner self while creating a physical representation of their thoughts and emotions. Additionally, the idea of finding order and hope in apparent disorder can be reflected through using letters and wood as materials in art. The composition of the letters can come from an orderly mind, and by overlapping and lining up the letters, the idea is conveyed that there is still order and hope. Similarly, the natural patterns and variations in wood can represent order and beauty in the midst of chaos, making it a fitting material for art. | en_US |
