A WALL FROM FUTURE

This is a wall about to show a future wall which can show what happened right now around us, by using mythology, and the material is mineral pigments and digital.

“How will people think about what is happening now around us? This is such a topic that I am doing research for. After reading those old paintings on the wall, I can see ancient people used that to take down what happened during that time. So here my thesis is about to make a series of wall paintings used old style to take down what is happening now around us.Basic on this and what I am choosing for painting, here I changed the theme. Combined with some modern art, I was focusing on researching what is the meaning of those petroglyphs. Usually, it means to take down what happened during that old time. I was thinking to take down the life which is happening around us nowadays. I made ten paintings are about SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INFLUENCES, RELIGION ACTIVITIES, POLITICAL ACTIVITIES, FESTIVALS, ECONOMIC CRISIS, CULTURAL EXCHANGE, VIRUS, WAR, EDUCATION, AND SOCIAL STATUS. (Include extra two topics, ANIMALS AND HUMANS, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSED )”
