scan of a fashion catalogue from one of my most favourite designers, Yohji Yamamoto. it is the A/W 1993 catalogue, photographed by Ferdinando Scianna. i like the uniformity. the identical flowing white shirts, hands held tight, young boys of the same age and the beautiful landforms. there is purity, the truest freedom. ]]> 2021-10-10 17:14:20 UTC

diligently growing out my hair for about a year or so, i wanted very long hair again. the current length was the awkward shoulder "not short not long" length. i think i despise being in limbo. the uncertainty irritated me so much. i impulsively grabbed some scissors and chopped it all off again. i was back to square one but i felt peaceful & stable. even though i could be mistaken as a boy

journey, someone had left unidentified trash next to the highway. i can't really make out what it is either (looks like bent metal?). but it looked so pitiful and cold. maybe because i started to humanize it, thinking its long legs look so gentle & bruised & that i should go check up on it. ]]> 2021-10-23 15:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/slama0520211_2/mly85q1182n46zq6/wish/1838146636

commemorates a victory of the gods over the demons. i'm not too religious but i attended since its important to my family. the adults gave me blessings by putting rice on my forehead and wheatgrass

https://padlet.com/slama0520211_2/mly85q1182n46zq6/wish/1839625370 i visited an art exhibition showing the works of Haitian artist Hervé Télémaque. his work was so puzzling, a wonderland of pop colours, identities and cartoon-like images. i was especially drawn to this piece titled "L'ANNONCE FAITE À MARIE" (the announcement of mary). i felt as if i was tricked by fantasy. i'm eagerly walking into a place full tainted illusions. of course the artist's meaning was different but this is just my perception of the work. ]]> 2021-10-24 17:27:26 UTC

out on the sink. first, i realised i had spaced off yet again and the sink was nearly overflowing. second, i watched the toothpaste foam up to form a cloud. it was so seamless & hypnotising to see. even if the water pressure broke the cloud, the strays would eventually re-join the cloud by a single strand. it almost looked like veins connected to each other. it was very pretty ]]> 2021-10-24

a part of the group decided to lay down on the pathway on the bridge. as i was going through my footage, i saw that one man had a curious smile on his face as if he was very entertained. however the next man wore a frown as if it was a nuisance to him. both expressions were very animated, it was not subtle at all. ]]> 2021-10-24 20:57:11 UTC

week. i thought of a time in the near future where humans could have grand, towering prosthetic limbs, purely for the visual appeal. of course you would have to willingly sacrifice your real legs. the little girl is defensively walking with her artificial legs in front of the masses. i think i made this because of unsolved feelings of persecution.  ]]> 2021-10-29 13:48:47 UTC

two weeks ago. i thought about a tower being split into two, the space in between. an infinite base that emits signals to those who are meant to receive it, whoever it may be. all those strangers, the invisible signals will connect them like a motherboard or intricate veins strung together. it's like a highway of souls glued together only by emotions. ]]> 2021-10-29 14:03:26 UTC

it apart, some of tangled it and some of us drew all over it. we then individually stuck it wherever we felt like we wanted to. it was fun and liberating to get rid of the attachment to my work. i ended up with results i never would have thought of creating. it was also great that all of our work was intertwined together, it was a satisfying way to summarise the end of unit 1. ]]> 2021-10-29
