My thesis is about my dreams, mythology and religion.
“Fire Kirin”, which has a different meaning in Taiwanese legend and Chinese legend. The Kirin has different interpretations in Taiwan and China. The Kirin in Taiwanese legend is a holy beast that causes natural disasters, but in Chinese legend, it is a holy legendary creature and very positive. The Fire Kirin is a bad-tempered holy beast in the Taiwanese references. It has a fiery body, and it is good at using fire, and its fire can turn anything into ashes. The Fire Kirin is the partner of the ancient Emperor Yan, and all of the weapons do not hurt it, and it is always beside the Yan Emperor in all of the wars. In other Chinese references, Kirin is a very kind legendary creature. It has very strong powers, but it doesn't hurt people and animals, even insects and plants. Although they are not the same between the two cultures, they are all impressive myths.
My concept, Fire Kirin is related to Cthugha. Cthugha is a god in Lovecraft's mythology, and it is a god of fire. The Fire Kirin is a parasite, which on Cthugha's body.
In my concept, there are Cthugha admirers all over the world, and Taiwan is no exception. In Taiwan, there are many indigenous tribes worshipping the god of the sun. Cthugha is one of the gods of the sun they worship. Many tribes call it the black sun, and they have been trying to summon it. Fortunately, they have never been able to summon the black sun, and the burning wind might be the environmental phenomenon that occurred when they tried to summon the black sun. Every summoning, they fail, but instead they have summoned the creature of Cthugha, the Fire Kirin. It has the head of a dragon, the body of a horse, and raging fire covering its body. Every Fire Kirin’s step burns the earth, and its roar blows the burning wind, and the heat around it melts everything close to it. It has only one purpose, to burn everything.
This is my new work " The Girl in Red"
My thesis project is about the Cthulhu myth which combines with any kind of myth and my dreams.
I chose Taiwanese urban legend to mix with Cthulhu myth.
This girl is a ghost, and she lives in the mountain of Taiwan.
This is the clay step for now.
I'm going to cast this work in plastic and bronze.
This work called Regret
He showed in one of my dreams and he was a cool creature.
He didn't hurt any innocent people in that dream, but he only ate something that you regretting are. For example, If you regretted that you didn't cook very well, he ate that dish and this is a simple example. There is a common example, because he looks too scary, people usually regret seeing him. They regret seeing him, but he can’t eat himself, so he show distressed expression. Also, people regret meeting him on the street, so he start to eat the street. All of the actions In the eyes of others, it ’s more scary, so they regret that they alive, and the story ......
At the same time, I have been regreting some things in my past.
This is what I want to convey in this work. Regret is constantly revolving in everyone's mind. We want to free ourself, but always fall into a circle of more regrets. How have we been free ourself from this cycle or become Regret?
