If I were a Scorpio
This work is part of the Stardust Journey series, which explores identity, memory, and self-discovery through digital collage and mixed media.
Inspired by Scorpio, the artwork reflects the ways we are transformed by the experiences we carry within us. Three faces are joined together by stitches, suggesting different layers of the self brought together through memory, change, and reflection. Rather than representing separate identities, the stitched fragments reveal how personal experiences gradually shape who we become over time.
From the openings between the stitched forms, pink lotus flowers emerge and bloom, symbolizing growth arising from places that once appeared broken, hidden, or unresolved. Resting upon the lotus, a scorpion becomes part of the figure itself, embodying resilience, protection, and the instinct to navigate difficult emotional terrain. Together, these elements suggest that transformation often emerges not from avoiding challenges, but from moving through them.
A side-facing figure is veiled by mist drifting through a forest, creating a sense of mystery, introspection, and inner depth. Set against green linen fabric and purple nebulae, the composition unfolds within a dreamlike landscape where concealment and revelation coexist. Within this space, growth becomes less about leaving the past behind and more about integrating it into a larger understanding of oneself. The artwork invites viewers to reflect on the parts of themselves that have been shaped not despite their struggles, but because of them.
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.
