Idea/ Concept/

I wanted to explore an alternative way of self-therapy by practicing a physical movement in martial art training sessions. I define this piece as the documentation of a mysterious spectacle that happens to our mind, body, and soul. The dominant theme in this project is the fight against oneself through the subject of martial arts. Through this idea, I wanted to capture the essence of body movement and how martial art practice can be adapted into this art project. I would like to explore different disciplines through sculptural objects, action body performance, and mix media installation are as a part of this artwork.

Significant

This project reflects my experience, mapping a feeling of connection between the struggles to control our lust. The battle in martial is a symbol of a fight with secular life until we awake from this dream, and that everybody’s spiritual journey to discover their self until they back to the true nature. As the main character in my own story, I illustrate myself as a warrior who defied myself. This artwork has been mirroring the endless self-challenge to get stronger, learn from a mistake, develop my skill, and never give up on my desires. This can be seen as a self-challenge to develop, being better, and proceed the success. The soul acts as a link between the body and the spiritual self. The soul can be attracted either towards the spiritual or towards the material realm, being thus the “battlefield” of good and evil.
