Reality and Fiction is an assemblage project using mainly found objects to create works with narratives/everyday realities as a starting point to develop visual content and compositional play. Through this project, we seek to understand the relationship between materials and their surfaces through visual, physical and psychological elements.

 

For this project, I focused on the concept of daydreams and nightmares, attempting to stay within the blurred boundaries between what is real and fictional. Taking reference and responses from Lee Wen’s interactive installation at National Gallery for the Children’s Biennale, my Daydream installation seeks to express the limitations we set on children’s creativity,  while my Nightmare installation shows the immense pressure of parental expectations and fear children have towards their parents. In this project gallery are developmental works that all come together to form the two-part sculpture and installation works.
