the 22"x30" MD2 drawing from July 2022 is the completed drawing on which the video is based.



As an intermedia artist, "Moving Drawing" is a cross-media project which creates connections between drawing, moving image (or the absence of images), and sound (or silence). Drawing is a heartfelt, body and mind experience that embodies time, place, movement, tactility, and sound. It transcends beyond the creator and the objecthood. In my creative process, I use my left hand to capture uncontrollable camera movements and sounds while my right hand makes marks or erases them. While doing so, I record the gestures of my right hand, the sounds of pencil movements on paper, erasing, sunlight and shadows, the room's ambiance, street sirens, and unpredictable occurrences, such as a bug crawling on the paper. These video and sound recordings, as well as chance encounters from the drawing experiences, are then edited together to take on new contexts and insights. The Moving Drawing Project also explores process and change. It reshapes material and tangible 2D drawings into time-based digital media, edits fragments to reflect and deflect its developments and connections. These works prompt us to contemplate the beauty, loss, and challenges that are part of our shared human experiences. Video art merges technology with creativity, enabling me to explore thoughts, evoke emotions, and spark conversations about contemporary issues. How do I respond to the ambiguities in my everyday life and the impact of conflicts and violence near and far through the language of drawing, video and sound? Additionally, what are my thoughts on the advancement of AI technology, which is already an integral part of our lives? I often zoom in on edits to magnify and transform details, drawing attention to the power of framing, sizing, cropping, and timing. These factors strongly affect image (mis)representations, content, and media filtering. How do these editing strategies influence our visuality and perception of reality? What constitutes the "truth" or "truths" and their blurriness in our divisive and chaotic world?
