[[alternative]]Exist.ID: The Deduction of Life's Spiritual Image

[[abstract]] 本文藉由文獻資料之存在論、本我論、心理分析、潛意識與圖像符號的象徵意義及創作系譜來探究「存在•本我」的本質意識。在創作實踐之行動研究中，將個人對心靈存在的圖像採用水墨媒材表現，另透過創作的自我實現，對形式與表現手法予以分析，並運用象徵與暗喻的方式詮釋，建構出個人的創作思維與深具精神意涵的圖像語彙。 本創作研究分五大系列，首先以「面具人生」系列做為創作的起點，從人的外在本質描寫，探討人與人、人與社會的相處之道；其次為「心靈之窗」系列是對原始自我的描述，一種身處在這時代下的無所適從，那種不確定、不信任感及矛盾的心理感受，以探討自我認知的歷程；再其次「心之束縛」系列是社會造成的疏離感，實與虛之間的約束，所投射出無情緒且封閉的自我對白；再來「虛無世界」系列探討各種不同可能存在的形式，利用傳統繪畫的點、線、面方式，繪出另一個空間；最後「生命終始」系列是一種展現意志、訴求及反思行動的體驗，內心世界與外在環境交互衝突，令自我亟欲解脫，期望找尋一種均衡的，並互為和諧的狀態，使個人將創作內容的主軸，轉換為對生命議題的探討，做為本創作作品的結尾。[[abstract]] This text aims to explore the essence of “Exist.ID” through existing literature on existentialism, egoism, psychoanalysis, sub-consciousness, semiotics and creative genealogy. Mental images of the soul are expressed in ink through the creative process and its examinations. Meanwhile, formalities and methods of expression are examined through creative self-realisation, and interpreted by means of symbolism and metaphor, constructing a personal creative logic and vocabulary with profound spiritual significance. The creative research of this project is divided into five categories, starting out with the “Masked Life” series, which is a string of descriptive investigations of the interactions between individuals, and between individuals and society as a whole. This is followed by “Window to the Mind”, which portrays the original self, the disoriented nature of contemporary existence, the insecurity, mistrust and paradoxical state of mind it breeds, as an investigation of the process of self-identification. The third series is called “Bound Hearts”. It looks at the isolation created by society, the actual and virtual boundaries, and the emotionless, secluded and self-contained auto-dialogue that is projected. The next series “Nihilistic World” explores a multitude of possible forms of existence; it creates a new space by using points, lines and surfaces- the tools of traditional painting. Finally, “The Beginning and End of Life” represents the experiences of the human will, its demands, reflections, and how clashes between the inner and outer worlds push the self to desire release and long for a balanced, harmonic state. Personal creativity is thus replaced with an exploration of life as an ending to the series
