Drip, drown is an experimental visual project. The project is a response to Frida’s work What the water gave me (1938).
Based on iconographic theories as well as formal examples and metaphors, I transform the meanings behind the symbols into an imaginary space where abstract expressions can take place.
By deconstructing the symbols in Frida’s works, using digital art and technology as the medium and tools, combining individual experience and recreating the works in an abstract and imaginative way, I attempt to explore and expand the artistic possibilities of digital media.
The engagement of individual imaginations can create dramatically different visual effects, and symbols are the language of the imaginations themselves. Water is the central symbol that runs through my project, and I try to create a calm yet powerful, lonely yet hopeful sensory experience – the similar feeling that Frida’s paintings bring to my mind.
