“Feeling needs to be in the centre of a culture of life, as it is our connection with the remainder of the world. We do not share our way of reasoning with other beings, but we all take part in the same way of feeling. We all are vulnerable beings who know the bitterness of pain and the sweetness of the self in ascent.” –Andreas Weber

 

Like New Materialism works, this piece is meant to convey a feeling of the object itself and its relationship with the artist. The form is meant to convey a human familiarity, but on an untouchable level.

 

Losing Soymilk in this year, which is being more painful and depressed than having physical sickness than last year. However, learning “say goodbye to the past, because it's time to move on.” Making 115 Films is not just releasing the tension and stressfulness. It is also the best recording the serious moment in the life. Accepting it, staying positive and moving on with my heart. If we are recording our life with film camera, we must use film around 1,150,000 km long.

 

The form will consist of simple almost geometric forms assembles. The use of paper, canvas and hair as medium and all made by hand are very important to the idea because of the level of direct contact with the final product—manipulating the paper cutting in the artist's hands and placing the energy within the artist directly in the art pieces with each manipulation.
