Exhibition Theme My Roboy story illustration tell the story of how a vintage robot always wanted to be human. It was something he can never be. He can only dream to be one. In his dreams, he dreamt to be someone who has all the emotions of an human being, where love, life, happiness and sadness and even the human taste can become real . He was happy still just by dreaming of it . Perhaps this is the other side of me, when sometimes grown ups has been through all the things in life but somehow missed out the most basic ones. Robot is a way to show how I am still passionate about life but somehow still drowning in them. I still appreciate the experience of not owning a robot toy, if I had one maybe I wouldn’t be inspired by the meaning behind it. Balloon animals series is a new collection that utilize objects that resemble real life, I develop Balloon animal series because I find them having the same fate as Roboy. They are like animals but again not real. Humans like to create to objects that resemble life but at the same time they are not alive at all. This made me feel like sometimes humans are artificial too because we have bonded so much with the things that has been created for us.
