In this latest exhibition, I aim to engage the audience more directly in the process of interpreting meaning. Rather than emphasizing that life’s meanings are random intersections we choose to define as “significant,” this project introduces a new approach focused on audience surprise. I express a core concept through three distinct mediums, anchored in the Freudian model of the psyche: Id, Ego, and Super Ego. The journey begins with three photographs representing the Id, which present instinctive and visceral visual cues about perception and interpretation. These are
followed by a video installation titled Ego, which invites the audience to engage more critically through layered imagery and temporal structure. Finally, viewers are confronted with the Super Ego object—a simple yet charged combination of a mask and a mirror. This final encounter asks them to confront their own reflection, suggesting that the meaning they seek ultimately lies within themselves. The experience underscores the idea that meaning is highly personal, varying as widely as the individuals who perceive it.
