Growing up in my culture, discussing so-called 'negative emotions' was often avoided. As a result, I found image-making to be my emotional outlet. In this project, I delves deeper into the impact of image-making on myself. I designed a therapeutic process that guided me towards deeper meanings of my re-occurring feelings that stem from my shyness and introversion.

​

'Introversion and shyness are gifts, embracing them is a skill to learn.' is the message I learned and want to delivver through this project. The work was presented as an installation in the RCA grad show in 2019, inviting viewers to engage with the pieces in a shoegazing posture.

​

I tried to depict a variety of introverted and shy feelings, translating subtle emotions into tangible, visually tactile images. This project was a self-help therapy for me, and it discloses how I, an introverted and shy person, feel in my daily life. While everyone falls in a different place on the introversion-extraversion spectrum, I hope this project still resonates with you to some extent.
