what you can see in my artwork is a half-trapped butterfly on a spider web. it's the reflection of my situation.

i watched Big Fish movie, then i heard an interesting quote. it is said that "i'v been nothing but myself since the day i was born, and if you can's see it, it's your failin' not mine". maybe it sounds so egoist, but i found it fit in my situation and my feeling, so i took it as my concept.


as i was going to make an artwork about myself, i tried to find something to represent myself. i chose the butterfly here. why did i choose it? every time i see a butterfly, i always think " oh look at her. she's so happy flying around from one flower to another one. she'll stop flying when she sees something that makes her interests with, spend some times there, and after that flying away again". seems like me, actually i love visiting new places, trying something new, and to find some interesting things for me. i'll learn it for a while and after that i'll search for another one. that's the way i find a lot of things in my life, the precious ones and the bad ones.

butterfly i use here is the monarch butterfly. the reason i chose this kind of butterfly is because it's one of the most commonest butterfly you can find everywhere. it means that i'm just an ordinary girl, but even the butterflies have never had the same patter, so do I.


let's move to some bright sunflowers i put here. normally, fresh sunflowers can give people a happy feeling and positive energy because of its color. it's yellow and yellow means happiness, joy, cheerfulness, in other language : something bright. sunflowers here represent what other people think of me, who i am in their mind. maybe it doesn't happen here, but a lot of people out there think that i'm a cheerful person that can't get angry and feel sad. actually i disagree. that's why i put the butterfly to the opposite of the sunflower's direction. maybe it's not 100% wrong, but i'm not as bright as they think.

what other people think of me, what they expect me to be, and what they want me to do are connected one to another, creating the biggest trap in my life. i represented it with the spider web. it is built on an through the sunflowers. why i say it's the biggest trap in my life is because : first, i can't express myself. i can't tell them what i really feel and want. and i hate it so much. second, it's so HARD and TIRING to tell them that they're wrong. they always say that they know me, but the ironic thing is some of them definitely have a wrong idea about me. and they still don't want to change their mind till now.

the place i put the butterfly is important too. why i put it here not in the corner is because this represents my actual situation right now. actually i'm not full-trapped on the spider web, just half-trapped. and i can release myself with some efforts of course. but i believe i can do it.
