一寸一光阴 （Moments in Time)

Abstract

As an art student, I’ve come to realize that creating art goes beyond personal enjoyment; it’s a powerful way to convey stories to an audience. When tasked with creating a gallery piece for my capstone project, I felt both excited and intimidated. I was conflicted with questions about my topic: Should I address real-world issues? Approach the project with an abstract style? What if others didn’t view my work as “proper” art? Ultimately, I chose to focus on something that genuinely resonates with me: my identity. Drawing inspiration from my Chinese cultural background, infusing it with elements of mythology that shaped my childhood.
