| Summary: | 碩士 === 台南應用科技大學 === 美術系碩士班 === 103 === Pictograms offer us a glimpse on the evolution of modern written texts. From simple narrative pictures in the beginning to that of the contemporary varieties, we see texts transitioning away from the use of representational symbols to that of abstract conceptual reasoning. Consequently, pictures or icons are at times far more intuitive for the brain to cognitively process as they may signal a multitude of signifiers that readily combine with language. To convey certain perceptual concepts, the author seeks to combine and utilize his own unique set of self-conscious semiotics with his art practice in order to produce an integrated narration.
With an increasing aptitude in research capability, there comes an alteration and elicitation of the original mental framework. Memories accumulate much like the file folders in a computer only to face hesitation when the time comes to recover them. Within a compilation of lived events, elements such as family, colleagues, society and tradition all merge together in the author''s reflection as he ponders about his original stance. Especially of concern is the author''s investigation for his self-identity and recognition. This “training” process may best be described as an arduous self-trial and self-interrogation where the author must surrender his most intimate insights on life. Even when faced with the risk of a transcendental death, the author must endure, knowing that the outcome of this trial will produce an eventual self-realization along with his meaningful uniqueness.
