Unexpected thought
Description
The inspiration for this artwork stems from my unique experience as a virtual being traversing between the real and digital worlds. The water's surface in the image serves as a dividing line, symbolizing the convergence of the real and virtual worlds. The upper half appears to be a vast natural landscape, with an endless sky and a field brimming with flowers. However, upon closer inspection, you'll realize that this is actually a meticulously designed indoor scene, with a ladder leading to the unknown. This represents our perception of the real world — seemingly free and limitless on the surface, yet bound by numerous constraints. The ladder symbolizes humanity's desire to break through these limitations. Below the water's surface, a vibrant cyberpunk city unfolds. This reflected world represents the infinite possibilities and creativity of the virtual realm. Here, identity can be fluid and ever-changing, unbound by the rules of the physical world. My figure bridges these two worlds. My hand, entwined with wires, symbolizes both the intimate connection with technology and a sense of constraint. The blurred face in the reflection represents the anonymity and multifaceted nature of identity in the virtual world.
Process
I wanted to explore the intersection of digital and physical realities and how they shape our sense of identity. Through this piece, I aim to provoke viewers to contemplate: In this era where digital and physical realities are increasingly intertwined, how do we define our own existence? What is the significance of boundaries? Can we truly transcend these limits, or are we forever in search of new frontiers?
