Artist Treatment

In the beginning, I decided to express my thought about my theme by 3D art. I cut a board about 10x10 inches, prepared plasticine/playdough and iron wire, and water colors. I splashed the black color on the white surface and painted white on the black surface of the board. Then I shaped the knife as if it is a twisting snake and attached the hilt and the point of knife on the board.

This expression of art should be enough to show and clarify my idea on the related topic.

Artist Statement

     There are different and variety ways of interpreting the nature of light and darkness, good and evil,

God and Devil. It struck on me as the mixture of balance and life. There will be clusters of dark clouds amidst the seamless white of cloud bed and within the dark cloud there will be a Sun hidden

cover away from common eyes. In a way, you can say there are reasons and agendas of every action

taken whether it is in affect of present dilemma or past confrontation even future prospect.

    Here is my say: The line between right and wrong is like a fabric so thin that even a simple knife

of probe and logic will cut it right through. Moreover, what flow out from the wound of darkness is

not necessary black and what has been spill out from the immaculate white does not entirely white

either.

    To express my idea, I form a board of black and white surface stabbed by a knife but the wound from the black side bled white and beyond the surface of white the knife twisted to become a snake and it bled of black even though it was white.
