Art Exhibition: EMOTION DICTIONARY

The exhibition focuses on the mentality of people who travel long distances and helps us have a deeper understanding of how this phenomenon affects our daily life activities such as dining, waiting, and sleeping. The importance of generating ideas inspired by daily life in a foreign land, and transforming them into actual artworks is to open up a discussion regarding the mentality of migrants that may be overlooked and to bring the idea of migrants or displaced people close to our own daily lives.
