Description:
This is a project full of personal emotion, recording my psychological experience in a period.
"Normal" is sometimes a word people use to restrain themselves. I used to think that becoming "normal" , such as becoming like everyone else is the way to get rid of loneliness. However, in fact, no one should hide their colorful thoughts.
I created the character for myself to be a person of colorful thoughts, although she hid her color in order to move forward to the "Road of Happiness" like others and wrapped herself up with a blunt black and white skin like everyone else. In the end, they all burst out of their colors, becoming the meteors in the night sky and being noticed by someone.
In terms of presentation, I made a long folding picture book with the plain shooting to combine picture form and feeling more harmoniously. Also, I tried special materials that were contrary to the rigidity expressed in other black and white pictures.
