If I were a Libra
This work is part of the Stardust Journey series, which explores identity, memory, and self-discovery through digital collage and mixed media.
Inspired by Libra, the artwork reflects the balance between staying true to oneself and seeking acceptance from others. A swan moves gracefully through the composition, symbolizing beauty, harmony, and the desire for connection. Nearby, an amusement park pirate ship swings between opposing directions, suggesting moments of hesitation and the challenge of choosing between different paths.
At the center of the work, a small face rests upon a scale and is connected by stitches to the larger face behind it. Together, they represent an ongoing dialogue between self-perception and social identity—the relationship between who we are and how we wish to be seen by others. The stitched forms suggest that authenticity and belonging are not opposing forces, but parts of a continuous process of negotiation and self-understanding.
Stained-glass windows appear throughout the composition, reflecting both sensitivity and a search for beauty in the world. Surrounded by pale blue linen fabric and pink-purple nebulae, the work unfolds within a dreamlike space between self-expression and connection. Within this landscape, balance emerges not from choosing one side over the other, but from learning to honor both. The artwork invites viewers to reflect on how much of themselves they are willing to change in order to be accepted, and what it means to remain authentic while staying connected to others.
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.
