This thesis focuses on how I interpret my standpoint toward withering and unnoticeable things by the means of eastern gouache and installation artwork. Furthermore, this writing is analyzing my creating process, elements and ideas of my works, also reviewing several artworks with related ideas. In my eastern gouache works, I reassemble my daily-collected image files and my emotions to cherish the wreckage as references to my notional diagrams. In addition, I cast my concept of the newborn upon death on the left blank spaces, as well as attempt to transform the common grief and negative feelings with death into a start of regeneration and the circle of life by this means. In my installation artworks, I visualize my association for the carcass via creating with withered veins of leaves, which imply wreckage and remains. The reassemblity of my installation artworks also signifies the possibility of reconstruction of lives.
This thesis is composed of five chapters as follows: Chapter 1, Introduction, indicates research motivation, purposes, study methods, and elucidate my inspiration from the long for preserving the withering things. Chapter 2, Topology of Creation, analyzes the similar elements between my works and other creators’. My writing here observes how creators interpret mournful loss in works from the perspective of literature and how their works inspired me. Chapter 3, Creative Concept and Methods, illustrates my choice for subject matters, and the importance of the daily-accumulated sketches to composition ideas. Here I also expounds the creating procedures during my graduate degree, the considerations on how installation art displayed and the way my creating methods carry out the creative concept. Chapter 4, Work Analysis, divides works into three series with their respective subject matters and concepts, elaborates how I visualized my thoughts in works, and analyzes the changes and links in my creating process. Chapter 5, Conclusion, summarizes the study value of this thesis and concludes. On the basis of current results, I expect my works will continuously expand in a profound way in the future.
