How Labels Can Change Depending On Where We Stand.
This project draws inspiration from Genius Is on the Left, Madman Is on the Right, a book comprising interviews with individuals diagnosed with mental health conditions. I created a installation, accompanied by three paintings, explores the shifting boundary between “normal” and “abnormal.” Rather than fixed states, these concepts emerge through perception. Like parallel lines that seem to diverge when viewed from a new angle, mental states reveal themselves as fluid when framed differently.

This installation draws inspiration from the shape of DNA, symbolizing the intertwined relationship between “Genius” and “Madman.” Like the two strands of a double helix, they represent opposing forces that are fundamentally connected—two sides of the same structure. This concept reflects the project's central idea: that perspective shapes how we define and separate experiences that are, at their core, deeply linked.
The sculpture was created using clay, then painted with acrylic and assembled with a glue gun. To emphasize the idea of shifting perspectives, the final outcome was placed on a cake-turning tray, allowing it to spin freely. This rotation invites viewers to observe the work from all angles, reinforcing the message that no matter how perception shifts, the essence of the object remains unchanged.
Outcome --- Fine Art
NOISE
Marker and colored pencil on paper
This piece is a chaotic tapestry of voices, emotions, and judgments—internal and external. Fragmented faces and text swirl across the surface, capturing the tension between self-expression and the pressure to conform.
FLOW
Acrylic, marker, and crayon on paper
This piece visualizes the overwhelming current of inner experience. A central figure is swept in a wave of color and distortion, while fragmented faces drift through the background—blurring the boundary between thought, emotion, and identity.
MICRO
Colored pencil and digital (Procreate)
This piece explores the complexity of inner experiences through six abstract, microscope-like frames. Blending organic forms and scattered text, Micro invites viewers to reconsider the boundaries between order, chaos, and perception.
