Human Weakness 

Installation

2020-09


Inspiration

As adult will never be as carefree and happy as he was in his childhood. This is because we can understand more and more as we are growing up. We call the offending thing human weakness.





︎ Sketch & Development:


I define human weaknesses with six words from the aspects of self-awareness, attitude to others, and attitude to things, namely inferiority, jealousy, cowardice, voracity, hypocrisy and horror.





Outcome

I extracted visual elements associated with six words, made tiny hangtages on this basis,
put the hangtags in glass bottles, and covered and sealed up the bottles.






These seals are for locking up human weakness,
and is for reminding me of trying to become a better person.



 






Actually, I know a person can never be perfect, and human nature is always accompanied by weakness.

But at a time when human weakness are locked up and the objective obstacles are cleared away, if people can decide to become better ?
