COMMON

Objects: Air modelling clay 
video project: touchdesigner
video edit: Adobe Premiere

   So my practice is to show my parents’ high expectations and overprotect, they want me to face reality and listen to them, and because of the influence of filial piety, I choose to listen to them. This project shows the process I accept society. The first video shows me walking oppositely to the other people and also walking away from my parents, and the objects I made and the red light indicates the original me, unstable and wanting to be myself, and the audio is from my parents; it’s harsh and annoying, don’t want to listen. And the second video shows two-three people walking together, two of them wearing the same dress; it's like I’m trying to integrate into the collective, still walking oppositely but walking on the zebra crossing; it’s like trying to find the right direction. The audio is still loud, but I can accept it. And the objects don’t have that many sharp corners, and the colour of the light is not that strong; it turns pink. And the last video is about many people walking in different directions; the audio is soft, and they are willing to listen also; society and reality will smooth out my corner and edge, so the objects become spheres, and the light turns white. And it’s like the colours of the things; for each step, I’m adding grey, grey is a neutral colour, and it means common, and I choose not to paint the colour grey because I still want to keep some of my personality.

我的做法是表现出父母的高期望和过度保护，他们要我面对现实听他们的，因为孝道的影响，我选择听他们的。 这个项目展示了我接受社会的过程。 第一个视频是我和别人对着走，也从我父母身边走开，我做的东西和红灯表示原来的我，不稳定，想做我自己，音频来自我父母； 刺耳又烦人，不想听。 第二个视频显示两三个人走在一起，其中两人穿着同一件衣服； 就好像我在努力融入集体，还是逆向而行，却走在斑马线上； 这就像试图找到正确的方向。 声音仍然很大，但我可以接受。 而且物体没有那么多尖角，光线的颜色也没有那么强烈； 它变成粉红色。 最后一个视频是关于很多人朝不同的方向走； 声音柔和，他们也愿意听； 社会和现实会磨平我的棱角，物体变成球体，光线变成白色。 这就像事物的颜色； 每一步我都加灰色，灰色是中性色，代表普通，我选择不涂灰色，因为我还是想保留一些个性。
