This study illustrates four pieces of artworks that comprising the themes of “Residual Taste of Life, “Swimming,” “Displacement,” “Remaining,” and “Adjust; Change.” The creating process is a journey, taken from 2008 to 2010, engaging a series of swimming experience that aims at freedom searching. In corresponding to my uncertainty self and the unsteady environment, I raised the consciousness of “swimming.” Such self-inquiry started with my feet stepping into water, stirring layers of ripples, and making interconnectedness of ripples, and all these led me to the state of “self-swimming.” This research is centered at exploring my uncertain self. The subject of my being was first dichotomized into body and mind, which took me to study my essentially unfixed appearance. Through literature reviews and theoretical lenses, the purpose of this study is to identify current problems of my art creation amid the unknowns and uncertainty. The subject of my artworks, I, was transformed into “the other” to illustrate the complex and sentiment of this exploration. The first chapter, “Swimming,” narrates the self submerged by the uncertainty of my life, creation, and thoughts. Surrounded by this condition, I returned to my prime perception in order to free my body, space, and materials. In the second chapter, “Whirling,” the self was transformed into a distant “other.” When this “other” engaged in dialogues with my inner self, I perceived the emerging and eroding corporeality swirling between my physical and spiritual beings by observing my feet. In Chapter three, “Liberating,” I continuously defined my internal being and the external world through studying my consciousness and art materials. At this phase, I gradually clarify my appearance and expect the freer future to come.
