I will study fine art for sure, but I might study in Melbourne or London. She was intelligent and was brave enough to reveal her struggles, having experienced so much pain and happiness in life. There are a lot of artists I admire, but Kahlo’s artwork personally appeals to me most.
As a starting point, I found that the quality of my sleep and my dreams affected my mood during the day. Found objects could communicate the messages within the artwork to the audience by themselves. I then edited the audio and played the recordings on speakers hidden in the pillowsįor Pillow talk, I was inspired by contemporary artists, especially Ma Qiusha, and their use of found objects to make sculptures and communicate their ideas.

Many people discuss thinking very dark thoughts in the middle of the night when they are unable to contain them anymore and yet, the bed also represents a place of comfort and sweet dreams.įor Pillow talk, I collected old pillows from others and sewed them onto the tent. I chose to revolve my project around a bed, as it is the place where the most rumination takes place and where people are at their most vulnerable.

Growing up, it is increasingly found that adults’ emotions are internalised and need to be self-digested, and everybody has a different way of dealing with their problems. In our daily lives, most people are unable to truly unleash their emotions when interacting with others. To do this, I explored the balance between happiness and sadness. In Pillow talk, I wanted to explore the complexity in human emotions and to demonstrate that people are always fluctuating between emotions.
