This work was created around the fundamental theme of “refugees”—people who have lost their sense of belonging and their motivation.
The fluid forms and vivid colors symbolically depict people who have lost their sense of belonging and are wandering aimlessly.
The red and pink shapes represent the “flow” of emotions oscillating between hope and despair, while the sharp, wave-like forms rising from the bottom symbolize the life force striving to rise up amidst an unstable environment.
I intended this work to visualize the universal pain of “loss of a sense of belonging”—a pain shared across nations and places—and to pose profound questions to the viewer. However, I recall a strange sensation during the creative process: whenever I tried to depict these themes, they would somehow turn into plants…
I looked up “plants” online and found that they are “a group of living organisms on Earth that primarily use light energy to produce their own nutrients.”
