Busyness and Forgetfullness

This is a set of artworks (installation) about the correlation between busy life and forgetfulness. I just find that I am not the one who can sustain in such a vibrant but rush city like Hong Kong. After graduated from the paradiso university, the working life remains me apart from the stable income, but only busy, busy and busy. The most shocking situation is that even though I have a long long holidays which suppose I can relax myself, I still fall into a busy scenario. During the working days, I am incapable of doing those personal things that I need to put all these into my vacation, just like visiting the dentist, going to the bank, doing housework or the annual body check. That means I am really busy for my whole body, physically and mentally. That’s incredible!

This artwork, I want to represent my thought about busyness and forgetfulness, illustrates that we always forget our different parts of our body: our eyeballs, our kidneys, our skins. Eye, an important organ, brings us to have a direct relation to our surroundings. Before we understand, we see! Kidney is very important to our internal body. It keeps a balance between our in and out. Skin, protects us directly to the sunshine and external germs. All these three organs and parts of our body are just metaphors which indeed represent all our body. We always remember to finish our work on time in order not to be blamed by our boss or to act as a responsible person, but we always forget something which is much more important to us—our HEALTH. We never notice their existence until we start to feel our eyes blurred, or any parts of our body painful. We always forget them until they decide to give us a revenge. It will be too late to compensate when they are lost. This is the bad symptom to most of us in such a busy city life.
