Watermarks of Light in Dark, 2020, drawing on cutting paper, Japanese paper, 3m.

The Edge, 2020, drawing, 38 x 56 cm.

I was inspired by watermarks in the book 'Shakespeare's Sonnet' which I read in the University of the Arts London's library and the traditional Japanese aesthetic that values dim light in the darkness. I have also found the quietness in the auditorium reflected light from the stage in the theatre.

I aim to let the viewers see performers' perspectives, different scenes from the general audience's sight.  I also intend to express the notion of anonymity, equivalency, and ambivalence.
