In the discussion of this creation, the author explored her and others’ use of aroma
through the Metalsmithing accessory creation approach. With the manifestation of the
author’s love for aroma in everyday life, the author realized the indispensable role of
aroma in life. Aroma not only expresses the faces of life, but is also a soothing agent
that forms a sense of ritual in life and senses connection between aroma and the body.
The author’s perception and image associations were incorporated through
Metalsmithing, leading to the creation of an aroma accessory, which is a carrier of
aroma.
The author explored the impact of aroma and aroma culture on humans through
the theoretical basis of research. It was found that aroma and emotion are closely related
and have a deep impact on people. Moreover, various aroma cultures are spread and
used around the world. The definition and connotation of sense of ritual and sense of
the body to humans were explored. An insight was gained into the transitional nature
of the two and the belief that a mood change after smelling aroma is a way of
transitional display. Through the aroma accessory creation approach, the love for aroma
and the positive feelings that arose were shared.
After browsing through relevant master’s thesis papers and the creations of artists,
the literature collection and data analysis methods were adopted to explore the
similarities and differences. This aided in clarifying the author’s creative context,
implementing media experiments, and exploring application techniques. By means of
drawings and idea development, the structural application was established and the mind
strengthened. The love for aroma was then put into practice through Metalsmithing
III
creation.
Based on the author’s feelings after perceiving aroma, the aroma accessory themes
were eventually divided into three series. Each series consisted of ten works, 30 works
in total. In the conclusion, the author’s own creative value was examined to echo the
objective the author aimed to achieve. Furthermore, upon completion of the creation,
the inadequacies and areas needing improvement throughout the creative process were
reviewed and pondered upon. Hopefully, the development of aroma accessories will
continue. In addition to launching more versatile forms, the love for aroma will also be
conveyed and shared. |
