Yuhan Ma

Wanderer

My thesis writings include four chapters. It begins by my self-reflection, an introduction to my liminal space and how it has become a spiritual endeavor. Building on that, the second chapter Encounters elaborates on my childhood memory; and the following two, the Non-resident alien, A Sanctuary, respectively expresses my recent concerns or situations that have greatly affected my perceptions, and a mythological idea of sanctuary that can keep me away from the chaos. These chapters have been influenced by the eastern ideology icons, such as buddhism and the culture of reclusion. They have examined a process of me dissecting and reassembling myself; as a result, they will show who I am as a fundamental of what I make when becoming an artist.
