The concept of "良瓷" and its similarity in pronunciation to "良知" offer a powerful metaphor for exploring the importance of traditional values in Chinese culture. In my art direction, I use makeup to create a visual representation of this metaphor, drawing inspiration from both traditional and contemporary Chinese ceramics.
Using makeup, we paint different patterns and designs on the model's face, incorporating elements of Chinese ceramics such as the "rooster bowl," blue-and-white porcelain, and the "longevity bowl." By juxtaposing these traditional designs with contemporary makeup techniques, I aim to highlight the contrast between genuine "良知" and the false sense of morality that we sometimes pretend to have.
Through photography, we hope to provoke viewers to reflect on the role of traditional values in contemporary society and to question whether our behavior truly reflects our deepest sense of integrity and honor. By using makeup and ceramics as metaphors for these concepts, we hope to create a powerful visual statement that inspires viewers to reconnect with their cultural heritage and to strive for greater authenticity in their daily lives.
By bringing together the worlds of makeup and ceramics, we hope to create a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the importance of "良知" in our lives.
