The Break (2024)
Concept
In modern society, it's often said that everyone is like a small gear, tirelessly turning in their respective positions to keep the whole society functioning smoothly. When you come home exhausted every day and lie in bed, do you feel like a gear locked in a cage, wanting to escape but unable to move?
In this project, I imagine a gear trapped in a box, gradually transforming into a plant due to some catalyst, gaining vitality, breaking free from chains, and bursting out of the cage. If you were that gear, what would it take for you to transform into that vibrant plant? I believe everyone's answer is different. For me, it's creation. It grants me freedom and makes me truly feel my existence.
If you're feeling the constraints of modern society right now, I hope you too can find that thing that gives you vitality and break free from the cold cage.
