Over the past year, I’ve often been thinking about imperfection in human beings. Within every being lie imperfections and shortcomings that remain concealed until their stories unfold. We all possess flaws and areas where we fall short. Everyone lives with imperfections and deficiencies. Strangely enough, I often find that flaws can actually be what makes someone or something so endearing, which is why I view imperfection as beautiful. Yet, why is it so challenging to accept our own flaws? In a world where we’re flooded with external expectations and influences, staying true to ourselves has become a demanding task.

So, what exactly do I define as ideal beauty?

After much contemplation, I’ve come to see flaws are natural, and perfection, being intangible, cannot be defined. We always live with these imperfections, sometimes these make people grow, to love each other, and provide a personal compass through life’s maze. We exist around irregularities and imperfection, shaping our existence. This work represents my journey through these thoughts.

Sound visualisation project based on the documentation of the sound every 3pm from 30.10.2023 to 5.11.2023. After creating 6 Wearable sound visualised art pieces, I designed 7 versions of posters for the project. All the art pieces are 3D resin printed.

Digital Canvas is a collaborative physical canvas, directed and created by Guo Yu and myself. We share similar art backgrounds, having transitioned from fine art to graphic and media arts in our first year of university. The challenges we faced and the change in our creative process were not only about transforming paint mixing and brushstrokes into software toolbars, but also about incorporating our personal experiences and ways of seeing into our work. This canvas, which should have been covered with paint, is now adorned with computer-edited digital images. Is it a piece of art or a work of design?
