PROJECT 2
Interpreting and Representing Place thru Visual Presentation
This assignment requires us to translate your research into a visual representation. An abstract 3D wall artwork is with am A2 artwork containing the narrative and ideation behind the artwork.
At first glance, what is the city in your eyes? Lively? Or...... Cold? What do you see in the street that shuttles through every corner of the city?
​
What we have seen is actually not what we saw;
What we have heard is actually not what we heard.
Slow down, Breathe, Feel;
Is it different now?
​
Day and night;
The mystery of dualism.
The luminous in the day ignites the warmness in our heart;
The luminous in the night ignites the excitement of the crowd.
In the morning, I do not believe in the bustling night;
At night, I do not believe the quietness in the morning.
​
I halt at the dot,
watching the passing shadow.
Daylight is ebbing away,
the stall is lightened up one after another.
I glance at the sky;
it changed; same goes to the street.
