The World of Child’s Mind
Child’s Mind
I found myself asking, "Why do some people yearn to return to a child's mind?" and "What does 'Child’s Mind' mean to them?"
Perhaps those content with their lives seldom feel this longing. But for those who do wish to revert to a child's mindset, it may stem from current dissatisfaction. Why do they seek refuge in the innocence of childhood? I believe it's the stark 'contrast' between the carefree nature of childhood, free from pressure, and the present, often laden with various forms of constraint.
The Contrast
People who shrink with suppress of society, but ironically all of their body are filled with child's mind.
What is your The Child’s Mind?
What do people mean by 'a child's mind'? In 2015, I participated in an annual exhibition organized by Spot Color where I was given a task to explore the concept of 'a child's mind'. Many people participated in this exhibition, and I categorized the different ways in which people perceive a child's mind, both in the past and present.
The Child’s Mind- Refuge

I contemplated the design of my logo as if it were a doorplate, symbolizing a milestone that marks my personal space and sanctuary. The space adorned with this logo thus becomes a refuge for me. Envisioning a fabric that creates a secluded area by draping over the face, the logo emblazoned on this fabric speaks of the refuge it offers.
Refuge of Right
I perceived a shared essence between my mother and the Virgin Mary. This parallel led me to see my mother in the light of the Virgin Mary. The irreplaceable presence of my mother brings comfort and ease, akin to the sanctuary found in a child's mind. Consequently, my artwork, portraying me cradled in the Virgin Mary's arms amidst a halo of sacred light, became a haven, embodying that same sense of refuge.
