I’m pretty much backward person rather than forward person. Whenever I think about my future, I just can not see myself. I feel like standing on the second step of the 100 steps of the staircases. So I like looking back to my beautiful time, my old sketchbooks and the pictures of good memory. Today is the one of those days. I’ve looked through my journals since 2009 (That’s the year I started writing a journal.). I then found very strong statement of mine. That is about “What kind of woman I would like to be.” and saying,
I would like to be mad.
I would like to be passionate.
I would like to be independent.
I would like to be wise.
I would like to be confident.
I would like to be elegant in some ways.
I would like to be unforgettable.
I would like to make my work unforgettable.
What I am trying to say is the word of ‘unforgettable”. When I started making a physical work for the PackingandMourning exhibition, I got an idea of ‘unforgettable’ which I’ve mentioned in the blog before and decided making a work what I can’t forget throughout the journey.
I often found that my new idea is not quite new, that’s the idea that I’ve already thought of, I realised. I’ve been keeping them in my attic and then I choose one of them whenever I need to. Also this attic comes along with me wherever I go.
