Description

The artwork "The Vessel that Blossoms" by the artist reflects her life experiences, portraying feelings of isolation due to a lack of love and neglect during her upbringing. The images capture the transformation of ritualized bodies into vessels, where the fragility and toughness of flowers turn flesh into sculptures. This process is documented frame by frame. The inspiration for the work comes from Abraham Harold Maslow's psychological theory, the Hierarchy of Needs, proposed in 1943. This theory categorizes human motivational behavior into five hierarchical needs, starting with basic survival needs. The artwork explores how a deficiency in these basic needs can make the pursuit of love and respect challenging, hindering the achievement of self-actualization. To express this internal conflict, the artist incorporates external objects that intertwine with bodily postures, resulting in visual creations within the series "The Vessel that Blossoms". The complex relationship between survival instincts and the desire for love is represented through the entanglement of materials, creating intricate states resembling both human and non-human characteristics. The artist uses her own body as a canvas to challenge and liberate the tactile sense of imagery, exploring constraints, bindings, and contortions. The series serves as a record of the artist's actions and the politics of her body over an extended period. Additionally, it delves into how gender structures and feminine qualities are perceived within the cultural context.
