The synopsis of the author's work:
"I always thought of myself as someone who was fragile. It didn't help that I was gentle in nature, generally quiet and very introverted. What's worst was that people kept saying how skinny I was. I sure was well fed and was brought up well, but I always struggled with my self image. "
This art piece depicts his life in a moment of anguish and timidity - alone in a corner wallowing in fragility. Yet there is some hope in the light that emerges.
Paper often times is seem as a fragile material. But when strengthened with glue- it can be built up, strong... sometimes even stronger than metal (ref Shigeru Ban)
"I hope to still say that my inner strength, the light within me is still strong. Amidst the darkness, it will pierce through and shine through all despair. May I continue to be strong in my self image and who I am."
The final piece was an installation piece made out solely of paper.
An immersive experience where the audience was to empatise with this body, at a fragile position at the corner of the room.
