This thesis is titled “Revitalization” and aims to explore the “Being” of my own agriculture. I usually do some agricultural activities, but this does not mean that I understand it and do not need to explore it. Therefore, I decided to study this topic and explore the ways to “be myself.” My creation mainly focuses on the relationship with agriculture. Through the field observation and sketching to evoke the inner image of myself. Also, by making my own works to understand, analyze and clarify my true thoughts. First of all, in theory, analyzing the character of agricultural products, crops and farmers, and to explore their “Being” based on Martin Heidegger's《 Being and Time》. Then, to explain my understanding with my personal artwork. As for the creation, I begin with a “sketch” and then paint some intuitive lines to highlight my emotional changes, and then use “coper etching” as a medium to create. Studying the above ways of creation helps me to understand and analyze the meaning of my works.
The contents of the works are mainly divided into three categories: “Rotten Fruits,” “Reproduction of Crops” and “Labor Moments.” In the process of creation, I create with my own mind and intuition, so that the appearance of the work is between representational and abstract, which brings infinite imagination. In the medium of creation, “printmaking” is the main one. Its “indirect” and “trace imprint” respectively imply my own interaction with agriculture. In addition, the emotions generated in the interaction are expressed in the creative process, and the works are presented in a staged state. It turns out that the influence of agriculture on myself is just like the printmaking which is irreversible because in the process of plate making, the destruction on the plate will never return to the original state. Also, the emotions and experiences generated in my heart cannot return to the original point. It can be seen that the experience, emotions and memories given to me by agriculture have been deeply imprinted on my heart, but there are always new emotions and new memories. As a result, I choose to have the works present in different ways, creating new possibilities.
