If I were a Taurus
This work is part of the Stardust Journey series, which explores identity, memory, and self-discovery through digital collage and mixed media.
Inspired by Taurus, the artwork reflects the search for comfort, stability, and a sense of abundance in everyday life. The figure’s body is divided between two forms of nourishment: one side is covered with blooming flowers from a garden, while the other holds a basket overflowing with fresh red fruit. Together, they symbolize growth, care, and the rewards that emerge through patience and cultivation. Within the mind, an array of rich foods fills the space, representing the pleasures, comforts, and familiar rituals that help us feel grounded in the world.
A bull’s head is connected to the figure by a chain, suggesting a deep attachment to security, familiarity, and the things we value most. Rather than portraying this attachment as either a strength or a limitation, the work explores the complex relationship between stability and personal growth. The imagery reflects the desire to build a life that feels safe and nourishing while remaining open to change and transformation.
Set against yellow linen fabric and green-purple nebulae illuminated by soft pink starlight, the composition unfolds within a landscape of warmth and quiet abundance. Within this dreamlike space, comfort becomes more than a collection of possessions or pleasures—it becomes a question of belonging. The artwork invites viewers to reflect on the difference between possessing what comforts them and truly feeling at home within themselves.
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.
