Artist Statement

In our daily lives, philosophy appears anywhere. Sometimes, objects only give us a very simple semblance.But behind them, there are many principles which are not easy to discover.
My still image is about a dog. It means, all the things have two "faces"--nice and evil. We can not simply say that "nice" is good, "evil" is bad. Because they exist together. A complete person is consist of these characters. The other thing is that it hard to know what is behind. So everything in the world has two sides, we can not judge or define it only by good or bad.
Here are some pictures which make me think a lot:




From philosophy, I also know that everything can be easy or difficult. So I make the video "Go and get the food". It semms like a very simple issue--only for food. But during all our lives, we can not leave food. The really common and simple thing is extremly important. Also, a tiny finding can make us happy. It depends on how easy you define happy. A person always feel "full" will always feel happy.
This class makes me think about the combination of philosophy and art. It is really interesting and profound, easy and difficult.
