My work explores the relationship
between everyday life and traditions. In particular, the space depicted in the drawing
is a place used to store personal, everyday items, and thus it serves as the collector
and the storage of memories, personal interests, and the fragments of daily
life. Moreover, in the second section of the work, the rearrangement of objects
reinforces the personal connection I have with the space. The replacement
of particular objects denotes the notion of adapting traditions into everyday
life. I believed that attitude is the key to achieve the authentic fusion
between traditions and life. Specifically, we need to accept traditions as part
of our life in our heart, and to find them appropriate positions in our life. On the other
hand, the means of changing the appearance of tradition is temporary and
superficial.
