𝘉 𝘖 𝘖 𝘒  〔Photobook〕MYSTIFY 迷絲

The invisible confusion and the expectations of others can often feel overwhelming. In this work, I use the image of a cocoon to express this state of mind. By wrapping my body with pantyhose like a web of silk, I represent the feeling of being trapped in confusion, pressure, and inner struggle. Yet within this restraint, the desire for change begins to grow. Like a silkworm preparing to become a butterfly, there is a strong wish to break free from limitations and spread its wings.

​

This artwork is based on a self-portrait photograph printed on rice paper. I then added charcoal drawings and acrylic gesso on the surface. The originally milky-white gesso reveals different layers and textures when illuminated by a lightbox placed behind the work, creating an effect similar to painted brushstrokes. The light gives new life to the materials and also symbolizes the awakening of self-awareness. Moving between photography and painting, the work presents a journey from restriction and self-discovery to transformation and growth.

無形的困惑與外界期待的目光，往往令人感到窒息。我將這樣的心理狀態化作蠶繭的意象，以絲襪纏繞自身，如絲網般層層包覆，象徵自我在迷惘、壓力與掙扎中不斷糾結。然而，在束縛之中，蛻變的意念也悄然萌生，如同蠶蛹孕育羽化的力量，渴望掙脫既有框架，自由展翅。

作品以自拍攝影為基礎，將影像輸出於宣紙之上，再運用炭筆描繪與油彩打底劑進行介入。原本乳白色的打底劑，在後方燈箱光源的照射下顯現出層次與質感，形成如繪畫筆觸般的視覺效果。光線不僅賦予材料新的生命，也象徵內在意識的覺醒，使影像遊走於攝影與繪畫之間，呈現從束縛、探索到蛻變的生命歷程。
