Behind-the-scenes creative notes: On the focus of the 2.5 series
I've become more interested in the relations between objects. Where before I looked at the relationship between a single object and us, now I'm experimenting with multiple sets of relations.
In the plastic bag piece, there are actually four suspended relationships: an empty plastic bag that no longer holds lemons, a parking lot with no cars, my OC who doesn't conform to the social expectation of how a girl should look — when all of them have lost their original object properties and social rules, do they still hold meaning simply by existing? That's what I want to explore.
The fourth relationship runs opposite to the first three "devalued" ones — it's the shadow. A shadow can't be consumed, doesn't have "object" properties, and is even a manifestation of the big Other. The character shades the devalued plastic bag from the sun, giving the shadow value — so at that moment, does the shadow get pulled into the category of "object"?
「Tideborne」
One wheels on wind, one waits on stone,
neither quite wild, nor quite ownedby salt,
by light, by things tides throw,
they learn what passing currents know.
Still they stay, and still they go.
I've been busy with the move lately — here are some sketches I made in my new home for the upcoming 「物体系」 series.
BTW, my sketches usually stop around this point — I don't even worry about form or proportion at this stage.
The point of the clear card is that it breaks the boundary between dimensions — carrying the bond between objects and my sisters from the object system into reality.
