The profound impact of Iness's work stems from her unflinchingly raw exploration of human vulnerability. In a particularly controversial series, she simultaneously embodies both aggressor and victim, reenacting intense childhood confrontations with her ailing mother. This courageous public exposure of private trauma not only challenges viewers' psychological defenses but also disrupts the artistic convention of aestheticizing suffering. Her surrealist approach does not constitute an escape from reality but rather imbues trauma with new meaning: the bandages enveloping the head symbolize repressed thoughts, while the faint glimmers in the darkness represent inextinguishable hope.

This compels me to reflect on my own creative journey: whereas I once sought to isolate familial conflicts within a kaleidoscope of fantasy, Iness confronts scars directly through her lens, transforming pain into creative fuel. Her works function as sharp prisms, refracting the dynamic essence of identity – we are not static entities defined by fixed labels but rather beings in constant flux, perpetually tearing and suturing to reshape self-perception. Through Iness's lens, trauma ceases to be a shackle confining the soul but becomes a starting point for self-reconstruction. This potent creative philosophy offers a groundbreaking interpretation of the symbiotic relationship between art and healing.

The first reason is that the establishment of identity is to have a more accurate understanding of their own value and mission, artists and designers when they have an identity, the artworks they create will always affect the thinking and reflection of the people and society, because the different concepts expressed by the artworks remind everyone at all times, so that the society is moving towards a more civilized track.

Secondly, people can resonate with their identity, to understand the pain and happiness experienced by each other, and artists and designers are expanding this kind of perception into visual, auditory, olfactory, etc. So that more people benefit from the edification of art and the ability to appreciate art.

Finally, artists have unique insights to show their own identity, so as to form the values that society needs to maintain the development and prosperity of art.

To conclude, I think the importance of identity is one of them, but more important is the soul of the artist, and the ideas and resonances he conveys to everyone.

The topics I find easy to write show I have some accumulation and understanding in familiar areas. I can handle them well. The difficult parts mean I may not have enough professional knowledge. My language skills also need improvement. Sometimes I think if I don't solve these problems, it will be even harder when I face professional writing tasks in the future. It will be tough to improve my overall writing level.

I have some ways to solve the above problems. In the future, I will read more professional books and articles to increase my knowledge. To deal with the language accuracy problem, I will practice vocabulary and sentence structure every day. I will ask professionals to review my essays. I will use their feedback to keep improving.

Self - confidence comes from fully mastering knowledge. When I can clearly organize my thoughts and have clear opinions, I'm not afraid. The nervousness mainly comes from not knowing if the answer is right and fearing embarrassment in front of classmates. Being able to answer smoothly is because of daily knowledge accumulation. What stops me is the knowledge blind spots and the fear of giving wrong answers.

Actively answering familiar questions shows the benefits of interest and accumulation. Avoiding difficult questions means there are holes in the knowledge system. There is also a mindset of not daring to challenge and being afraid of making mistakes.

My biggest problem is that I don't know enough words. I know what many words mean. But when I write, I can't think of the right words. Because of this, my sentences are boring or not clear. I also don't know the differences between similar words very well. So I often use the wrong words.

Grammar is a big problem for me, too. English tenses, voices, and sentence structures are very different from Chinese ones. I check my writing, but I still sometimes don't see my mistakes.

I need to make my writing better organized. In my essays, there are no sentences to connect ideas or paragraphs. My writing seems all over the place. I need to learn how to connect sentences.

I have a plan to fix these problems. I will read more English articles to learn new words. I will practice grammar more. I will also look at how good essays are written and put together.

This sculpture inspires me. The true self takes courage to accept being imperfect. It means facing desire, fear, and ideals. It means trying to find balance in contradictions. Each part of the self shows struggles, perseverance, and every breath. These are real expressions. Pressure hits daily life energy. It keeps people struggling. It makes us admit we are not completely good.

I deeply relate to Su Lizhen's experience. In today's society, everyone spends their whole life struggling with themselves. We all play different roles, like being the "sensible child at home." When roles from others clash with our inner selves, we start to wonder if we are living up to others’ expectations or hiding our real selves. About emotions, we often shift real feelings to avoid relationship failures. We hide our real selves for a long time. But finally, we can see our true selves by balancing love and restraint.

Today I need to give a speech. The speech is about an artist who explores identity. I will talk about a film. The film is about my identity. The film is called "In the Mood for Love". I don't have a poster. I have to improvise. This is my first time doing this. I'm very nervous. I saw the previous speakers. They were relaxed and at ease. I think I need to relax. I need to give a real speech.

2. So what?

I gave an impromptu speech. My mind went blank. I could only remember some movie clips. I did research before. The research was still in my mind. I slowly got my thoughts back. I said some important points. I talked about my identity. I was very nervous. I stuttered. I didn't say some key words.

3．Now what?

I need to improve my impromptu speaking. I need to get better at reacting quickly. I want to stay calm during a speech. Don't want to feel nervous.
