the frame, while the hand on the right and the white space creates the impact of the image. In terms of color, I have deliberately emphasized the blush and lipstick colors, which contrast with the highlights created by the printer's lighting, adding layers to the overall image.
The work explores the boundaries of the body as it interacts with its environment and the state of mind of the person within the confines of the body. This glass-like effect produced through the plastic sheet creates a dual symbol that is both a cage of entrapment and a protective film. It reflects a universal feeling - the feeling of being confined and bound while struggling for survival and yearning for freedom. This escape can be physical, mental or even emotional.
This work can be interpreted as a commentary on the individual self-identity in contemporary society, even if it makes no explicit reference to any historical or creative work. It is reminiscent of contemporary art that examines social identity, loneliness, and the self.
The invention was motivated by a social media craze where individuals are recording their self-images with scanners. Through this unconventional method of portraiture, I have experimented with new kinds of self-expression and investigated the connection between
contemporary technology and artistic expression.
It is my hope that this work will resonate with viewers who feel trapped in their lives, or who are psychologically stressed. Through this extreme expression, viewers may feel the amplification of their own emotions or situations and find a way to release and empathize with them.
《框定》是一件通过打印机探索的实验性作品,内含我的面部与双手图像,以及装有透明塑料片的相框。这种技法无需复杂操作,仅需在扫描过程中调控肢体动作与表情。该过程不仅捕捉了肖像的静态美感,更在画框的固定边界与人类表情之间创造了独特的张力。画面构图刻意呈现"受困"状态——面部占据画框左侧,而右侧手掌与留白共同构成视觉冲击。在色彩处理上,我刻意强化了腮红与唇膏的色调,它们与打印机光线形成的高光区域形成对比,为整体画面增添层次。
这件作品探讨身体与环境互动时的边界,以及受困躯体之中的心理状态。塑料片产生的类玻璃效果形成双重象征:既是禁锢的牢笼,也是保护的薄膜。它折射出一种普遍感受——人们在挣扎求生与渴望自由时,始终被束缚与禁锢的体验。这种逃离可以是物理层面、心理层面,甚至是情感层面的。
即使没有明确指涉任何历史或创作背景,这件作品仍可被解读为对当代社会个体自我认同的评论。它令人联想到那些审视社会身份、孤独与自我的当代艺术作品。
创作灵感源自社交媒体上人们用扫描仪记录自我形象的风潮。通过这种非常规的肖像创作方式,我尝试了新型的自我表达,并探究当代技术与艺术表现的关联。
我希望这件作品能与生活中感到困顿或承受心理压力的观者产生共鸣。通过这种极致化的表达,观者或许能感受到自身情绪或处境的放大,并寻得宣泄与共情的出口。
