my first narrative art work I ..

Nowadays everything is turning into the virtual reality. Our habit of communication, conversation, drawing, reading, writing, etc are changing from physical reality into the virtual reality. Especially our reading habit, we are all spending most of our time on different monitors. We study different information and knowledge by looking at digital pixels instead of drip of ink.
Furthermore, our writing habits are also changed. We don’t write but we type. Not only are we loosing our writing skills, but we also loosing our chances to express our personalities. Even though we can still type on keyboards to execute our ideas or record our memories, readers would never perceive our feelings by looking at those formal digital typefaces.

Space is also becoming meaningless to us because our stuffs are moving into the virtual world. For instance, if I want to record my memory, I type and save the document file in my hard disk. I own nothing. But if I write or sketch on a piece of paper, I can still own that piece of paper. If I create a cube by using advanced software, I cannot own that particular space within the cube. On the other hand, if I create a ceramic cube, I can own the cube and also the space in that cube.

Therefore, I would like to express my personal feeling and personality by showing my progress of making many ceramic cubes. It is because every cube is unique. It is impossible to have two same ceramic cubes in the world.
Moreover, in order to recall my memory of making these cubes, I have folded and packed “spaces” up by creating these ceramic cubes.
Creating the progress of ceramic cubes is just similar to writing my narrative paper. Those are unique and can never be happened in the virtual world.
