If I were a Cancer
This work is part of the Stardust Journey series, which explores identity, memory, and self-discovery through digital collage and mixed media.
Inspired by Cancer, the artwork reflects the desire for emotional safety and the courage it takes to open oneself to others. At the center of the composition stands a complete figure, connected at the back of the head to a smaller self. Partially hidden within a nautilus shell, the smaller figure suggests a retreat into protection, familiarity, and the comfort of inner spaces. Its body takes the form of a locked door, symbolizing the boundaries we create to safeguard our most vulnerable thoughts and emotions.
Within the figure’s mind, a crab cautiously peeks outward, embodying both curiosity and hesitation in the face of connection. Rather than presenting vulnerability as weakness, the work explores the delicate balance between self-protection and openness. The imagery reflects the tension between the desire to remain sheltered and the longing to be understood by others.
A clear ocean flows through the figure from head to body, linking memory, emotion, and selfhood. Set against pink linen fabric and pink-yellow nebulae touched with soft violet hues, the composition unfolds within a dreamlike landscape of reflection and emotional depth. Within this space, safety becomes more than a place of retreat—it becomes a foundation from which genuine connection can emerge. The artwork invites viewers to reflect on what helps them feel secure enough to open the doors they keep closed.
Stardust Journey | 星辰之旅
Stardust Journey is a series of digital collage artworks about identity, memory, and personal growth. Inspired by the symbolism of the zodiac, each piece explores the emotions, contradictions, and experiences that shape who we become.
By combining childhood photographs, familiar objects, and imagined cosmic landscapes, the series creates visual stories that feel both personal and universal. The stitched elements and layered textures symbolize repair, transformation, and the ongoing process of understanding ourselves.
Whether collected for its visual beauty or personal resonance, each artwork offers a quiet space for reflection and self-discovery.
