About
The heart is the sustenance symbol of the human body and the spirit, and the screw grows from the heart to show an inner undetectable pain. Smart glass comes in transparent and translucent two forms. Demonstrate the feeling of the heart beating by constantly switching between the two forms. When the glass cover is in the atomized state, the wounded heart looks blurry from the outside and when the glass becomes clear, the viewer can see the intact heart as well as the red wax liquid. People’s inner pain is like a looming shadow, blood oozing out with every beat of the heart in the process. The combination of the glass changes and the sound of beating heart “drives” the heart, even when it’s still.
Bio
l try to express hidden pain through my work. I used two materials and methods to make the heart part separately(Resin and wax) . I choose the heart as the sustenance of human body and spirit. When the glass cover is in a frosted state, the injured heart looks blurred from the outside, and the audience cannot clearly see the inside of the cover. When the glass is transparent, the audience can see the heart. I think some emotions can be empathized by others, but the most painful hurt is hidden. In this rapidly developing society, people’s inner pain is like a looming shadow.
