Artisanal lamps informed by self-reflection, dualistic, and impermanent expressions

Abstract

Every life has one thing in common. It is inevitably up-and-down. Happy moments seem like a blink whereas unhappy moments seem unending. In reality, neither hellish lows nor heavenly highs will remain forever.

The interchange of nature such as day and night reveals daily transiency. Having observed natural alternation, I found that dualistic reciprocation is one of impermanent phenomena. As a result, dual aspects and ephemerality became the significant impetuses of my final year project.

This exploration is intended to cultivate an awareness of living in accord with fluctuating circumstance. Hopefully, going through this journey independently will make me more patient to face ups and downs calmly.
