| Popis: | 102 This thesis explores my mental journey during graduate school. In this mental journey, I observed myself by creating art, and in the creating process I gradually shattered my old perspectives and reconstructed and updated myself. The thesis includes six chapers. Chapter 1 is about my main motive of research and research methods. I apply Freud's theories of the unconcious mind and repression to make an initial self-analysis. Chapter 2 explores my family background, environment, and my mental state, assisting in the understanding of the true motives behind my artworks. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 discuss my artworks. Chapter 3 discuss my works created during 2008 and 2009 (when I was in college). I include the discussion of these works in my thesis as a referential context because all of the visual vocabulary in my artworks of my graudate years originated from them. In chapter 4 and chapter 5, the discussion revolves around five series of my works created during 2010-2014: "Some Things Need to Be Said, "All Are Important Matters", "Myself, Memory", and "A Quiet Friend" in chapter 4, and "Unihipili"--a series of self-portraits--in chapter 5. In these two chapters, an in-depth discussion is carried out in accordance with the progression of time and the contents of my works by analyzing the transformation of both the vocabulary in my works and my mental status. Chapter 6 is the conclusion of the whole thesis. This chapter concludes the vocabulary in the artworks discussed in Chapters 3, 4, and 5, and sums it up into two tables of progress with which it investigates and understands the true faces of my own works and my inner self, and the individualizing process in which I have reached my ego Keyword: Sigmund Freud, The process of individuation, Repression |
