在這個論文發表會中，我所創作的混合媒材作品使用了持久性的符號與敘事手法來表達現代性經驗。我們生活在一個人口快速增長和工業化的時代，引領全球文明日益走向消費主義和便利的文化，這些變化將會對地球環境及生物多樣性帶來什麼影響，這些狀況又將如何影響我們個人，當代社會可以採用什麼樣的敘事方式來構建我們的現代編年史，這些都是我在創作研究過程中試圖回答的問題。
本論文將探討深刻影響西方文化的因素，以及基督教如何影響了我的審美觀。之後，透過比較分析，本文也將檢視這些我個人的經驗跟藝術史的關連。在西方的藝術史全集中挖掘這些創作中的隱喻，就像我們對當代藝術所做的一樣，藉此我能更清楚地表達我的創作方式及含意。
最後，本文將探討我作為一個藝術家在社會中所扮演的角色。我的創作研究促使我對我的藝術作品形成了個人立場，同時也打造了一種創作哲學。為了更好地理解我的創作過程和與公眾的關係，本文將重新檢視「我的藝術應該為什麼服務 或是「我希望我的作品如何被觀眾接受」等重複出現的問題，進而探究現代性和全球化如何揭示出多樣的觀點，從而影響藝術的詮釋。我主張展覽應避免過多的話語進行調解/中介，並邀請觀眾自發性的藝術作品做出反應，就能實現藝術解讀的多元性，使所有人的觀看體驗民主化。我將審視我的審美和表達方式是如何被我的觀眾在感官層面上所影響，並思考在展覽過程中引起觀眾參與和反應的可能方式。

The mixed media artwork created for display in my graduate thesis exhibition constitutes my most recent creative research into the use of enduring symbols and narratives to express the experience of contemporary life. We live in an age of fast-paced population growth and industrialization, leading global civilization towards a culture of consumerism and convenience. What are these changes' effects on our planet's environment and biodiversity? How does this new reality affect us individually, and what kinds of narratives can contemporary society employ to frame our modern chronicles? These are the questions I sought to answer during my creative research.
This discourse aims to consider how an upbringing embedded in Western culture and Christianity informed my personal aesthetic choices. Subsequently, through comparative analysis, the text will also examine how these individual modes of expression fit into a larger art-historical context. By mining the metaphors of creations within the Western art canon, as well as contemporary artworks, I am able to better articulate the method of expression and meaning within my own work.
Lastly, this essay will discuss my role as an artist in society. My creative research has prompted me to develop a personal stance concerning my artwork and craft a creative philosophy. Recurrent questions such as, “What should my art be in the service of?” and “How do I want my artwork to be received by the viewer?” will be considered in this treatise to better understand both my creative process and my relationship with the public. The text will examine how modernity and globalization have revealed an abundance of viewpoints which affects art’s interpretation. I will argue that an art exhibition that avoids mediation through excessive discourse and invites viewers to volunteer their reactions to the artwork allows for multiple artistic interpretations and democratizes the viewing experience for all. I will examine the ways in which my personal aesthetic and modes of expression are informed by a desire to reach my viewers on a visceral level and consider possible ways to elicit engagement and response from my viewers during the exhibition process.
