Farewell is my attempt to rewrite some of my most difficult moments battling with mental health issues through the lens of empathy and love. It consists of a series of personal stories about how, in this alternative world, I was able to find peace while dealing with severe self-hatred towards my body. It is also about letting go of the traumas I used to bear and recalling self-love in moments of despair.
To unveil these private yet complex moments, I constructed my work on a three-dimensional and multi-layered surface mounted with watercolor papers. In these layers lies the most vulnerable part of me, which was once hidden deep and is now open to the public. For me, Farewell is an ode saying goodbye to what once weighed me down and haunted me daily without grudges but best wishes.
