Untitled - The Place We Live Series Artwork

This project is a healing process of my personal experience with depression. The condition made me spend a lot of time immersing myself in nature and observing the elements of the natural environment where I felt released. Initially, the project started with tons of outdoor sketches. My mental issue was healed and transformed by every stroke that I put on paper. The natural element inspired me, and I realized that I could deliver mindfulness and power through my art as an artist who keeps meditating mindset and calm while creating. this is the reason why I pick up soft pastels and pencils as main media since their property could follow, record and express along the way with my mind when I rub the pigment into the paper. These drawings not only show the simultaneous process of the depression leaving as my understanding of natural philosophy emerges, but also present the peaceful relationship between humans and nature.
