ANIMALS DURING THE PANDEMIC
I started to think about the changes in my life and environment because of the attack of COVID-19.
In the past two months, I saw the news about the influence of the COVID-19 to the earth, such as animals entering the city, which the reason why people have seen them in our life more often. On the other hand, I believe the earth is healing by herself in her own way. Therefore, I want to start investigating and observe the connections between animals, people, and the environment.
DEER
Size: 12×12×12
Material: Clay, Acrylic
The deer in Nara, Japan: Since human have been feeding them in daily life, they have already relied on the food from the tourists and citizen. This impact, caused by humans, forced them to enter the city to find new food sources. This result makes me wonder, "Are we the culprit who make the deer lose their ability to live by themselves?"
RABBIT
Size: 10×10×15
Material: Clay, Acrylic
Rabbits have the ability of strong vitality and fast reproduction. I hope humans can overcome adversity during the situation now and restore prosperity.
WHALE
Size: 30×15×15
Material: Clay, Acrylic, Ultraviolet Rays
There are two things about choosing this animal. The first thing is the story. I saw my friend post on the Internet about his experience. He is a person who can connect with the spirit of nature.
One day, the spirit in the sea came to him and asked him for help. Later, it showed him an image where many creatures in the ocean clean up the ocean garbage together. Their way is to eat the garbage and let the garbage stay in their body instead of staying in the ocean and this is the only way they know. The second reason is extended to the previous story. I often see reported in the news that a large number of plastic bags were found in the bodies of dead whales or dolphins.
CRYSTAL TREE
Size: 15×15×8
Material: Clay, Acrylic, Ultraviolet Rays
At first, this was not a single work. Later, I think the crystal tree can represent the growth of human beings.
Different colours of crystal have different meanings. Through them, I want to express that all aspects of human beings have made breakthroughs and improvements. In the other hands, crystals not only representing the meanings but can also help improve that aspect.
WHAT DIFFERENT CRYSTALS MEAN
White: make us feel better and bring energy into space or heart to which we belong
Purple: relax and calm, strengthen your connection with your surroundings
Green: remove obstacles, discard unnecessary things and purify the space, balance the emotions
Black: let people have a sense of security, manufacturing protective umbrella to isolate negative energy
Orange: Find strength in a difficult situation to continue to move forward and bring vitality
Yellow: bring joy
