Wind H×CISB｜CISB国际文凭视觉艺术课2024届毕业生作品展回顾

"Ecdysis", derived from the Greek word "ékdysis", means "going out" or "shedding". The prefix "ek" means "out" or "away", and the root "dysis" comes from the verb "dyein", meaning "to enter". The compound word "ékdysis" literally means "walking out" or "shedding".

This term was first adopted in the biological sciences to describe the process of molting or shedding the exoskeleton in arthropods and other animals.

From childhood to adolescence, and into adulthood, the body and mind experience a constant "metamorphosis" or "ecdysis" every day. Young female student artists from different nationalities, in the process of growing up, are using visual arts to explore the reflections of their self and identity, and this is just the beginning.

It skillfully combines various colors and shapes to convey a rich tapestry of emotions and experiences. The colors used in the piece evoke different feeling, each representing a unique facet of human emotions. Central to the artwork is the presence of a crocheted dress, which serves as a powerful symbo, representing the masks that individuals often feel complled to wear in society. Just as the dress conceals the true form beneath, so too do people sometimes hide their genuine emotions and experiences behind a facade.

This piece represents a decaying nature of a tree, capturing the essence of impermanence and the continuous changes that occur throughout life. The white in the sculpture suggest purity, innocence, contrasting with the decaying tree its represents.

In this artwork, I have illustrated a subject lying on the table while streams of blue tears cascade down onto its surface. This artwork expresses the depths of human emotion, specifically the profound experience of sorrow. By depicting her emotionless facial expression, I invite viewers to question the depth of emotions concealed beneath her seemingly detached facade. Silent Desolation prompts viewers to reflect on the intricacies of human emotion and the complexities of inner experiences that may not always be readily apparent. It invites contemplation on the masks we wear and the unseen struggles we carry beneath the surface.

Ethereal Elegance represents a woman with an enchanting presence. Half of the face is covered with the subject's hair to add intrigue to the portrait. The interplay of red, brown, blue, and yellow symbolizes the range of emotions, experiences, and identities that women encompass.

Will it suffocate?Perhaps,when not understood.Like being wrapped in plastic wrap,unable to escape.Tired?Take a rest.Close your eyes,relax your body.In social interactions,many times,let It be,what'smeant to come,will come.

We are all "observers" in the transcend of time and space. The main subject of the painting contrasts sharply with the surrounding black crowd in terms of color, size, and quantity. The peculiar creature is positioned high above, while the crowd is below, depicted as onlookers gazing upward. This emotionless observation often reflects the difference in perception between individuals and groups.

When individual reactions differ from the group, the relatively homogeneous group tends to remainindifferent and fails to understand the uniqueness of the individual.

 I capture this subtle atmosphere by using red and orange, attempting to convey a sense of accumulated energy and an impending explosion. The upcoming explosion will cause reactions and disturbances among the black silhouettes below, leaving infinite room for imagination for the audience. This also contrasts passion with indifference. When People observe subjects with their current mindset, representing a transcendent"observation" beyond time and space.

The artwork finds its main inspiration in the imagery of a lit match and the transformative effects of its subsequent burning, resulting in a weathered and charred appearance. Through the use of color and perspective, the sculpture aims to faithfully capture the essence of a lit match. The upper portion of the artwork features a combination of black and silver hues, while the lower section is adorned with a bold and striking red color, creating the optical illusion of the upper part being extensively burned and transformed into ash. Moreover, within the lower section, there is a metallic-looking stem that traverses the delicate structure of the lamp, symbolizing the gradual consumption of the match by the fire.

The artwork draws its main inspiration from the aerial view of the land as seen from an airplane, offering a high perspective. The primary objective of this artwork is to delve into the potential of plaster as a medium and to experiment with texture in order to convey a sense of perspective and depth. The composition consists of interconnected planes and shapes, each carefully constructed to create the illusion of depth through the use of vibrant hues such as red, white, yellow, and green, as well as various textures. Prominently visible within the artwork are three red spirals, distinguished by their slightly darker shade, which contribute to the overall visual impact.
