Project 5
Cave, 2015
  
  Human being used to live in caves a long time ago. Like they lived in caves for survival, I spent a lot of time under the desk in my childhood. I used to hide there to avoid my parents’ scolding, and it was also my hiding spot when I played hide and seek with my brother. It was my own cave. One of the things I used to be scared was lightning and thunder. Every time lightens and thunders, I hid under the desk. The worst part was while I was waiting for the thunder after the lightning flashes. I recreated this experience of hiding under the desk until the lightning and thunder finishes as a video, and tried to show the traces of my action of defeating the fear. For the introspective nature of me, the space under the desk helped me to keep my confidence. Under the desk, the chair hid my body. While I was doing homework or drawing under the desk, I felt less pressured because I could be free from others eyes. When I had to present or introduce myself in the class, I felt like my body was shrunk due to the pressure, and I was hoping there is something like chair to hide my body. Now, there is no desk, but I still feel pressured on other’s eyes sometimes. Through my works, I created something like a desk to overcome the feeling.
