This body of work is a broken narrative depicting a woman’s
devotion and passion through freezing performances on still
images. It’s a narrative mixed with my imaginations and real
experiences. In the work, the daily life objects and environments
are linked to real events while the interactions with them and
alteration of the space are blended with fantasy. I constructed
an imaginative world to examine and set free my inner emotions
and desire. Each action in these images is fictional; however,
every action is real in my mind and happens in my body.

Through representing those imaginations and real experiences,
I am able to retrieve the past, examine the present, and try to
foresee the future fear, and to look into what made and are
making who I am.

The clean tone and the artificiality of the images are used to
convey the fakeness of this imagination. The emotions
associated to the actions are painful and struggling. Although
the narrative itself is personal, the ambiguity of the actions
going on allows evoking viewers’ own mental experiences and
sensual response.
