About
The title of my project is “Soulful Resonance — An exploration of claustrophobia through poetry and painting”. The aim of my project is to explore the feelings of claustrophobia and ways to alleviate the symptoms through paintings and poems, so that people are no longer afraid to face enclosed spaces. Instead, they will look at the feelings that the space brings to them from a different perspective. Combining painting and poetry to explore themselves. To help them improve the way they perceive themselves in similar spaces through art. The association between emotion and space is not fixed, but changes over time. The same space can trigger different emotions in different people. In practice, we discover some deep memories about the similarities of confined spaces through empathy in different spaces, by evoking the psychological factors that cause claustrophobia and finding emotional commonalities in similar scenes. Using painting as a way to think and feel about claustrophobia, using the frame as a peeping portal to open up the world of claustrophobia and bring people into the claustrophobic world.
