Exploring Linearity in Pictorial and Alphabetic Writing: A Comparative Analysis

This project aims to investigate the distinctions in the doctrine of linearity between pictorial writing and alphabetic-based writing. The exploration initiated with an examination of how Latin characters could emulate the construction of Chinese characters while preserving legibility. Additionally, Chinese characters were rendered using an alphabetic presentation. The focal point was the Taoist phrase "Let It Be Still" (让之静止).

"Harmony," as a concept, embodies balance, coherence, concinnity, and unity by emphasizing the similarities among separate yet interconnected elements. During the ideation phase for this artwork, I delved into my family photo archives and revisited the diverse collection of images captured during my travels to different countries. Surrounded by distinct cultures and diverse individuals, I recognized the parallel between humanity and the colors of a wheel.

"Public Identity" aims to delve into the intricate relationship between the concept of identity and elements such as words, signs, symbols, and images. The primary objective is to visually experiment with signs and symbols that have been assigned by external entities, forming what can be regarded as my "public identity."
