Lana Project
(2018 – 2019)
Following Lana work in early 2018, I embarked on a project with the same title. This project is a response to the busy routines of urban society that often leave little time for moments of contemplation to address the challenges encountered in each phase of life. This is particularly common among young adults in a transitional phase, making various life decisions.
In response to this phenomenon, I combined relational aesthetics and dialogical aesthetics to offer a platform for social exchange and interaction achieved through a process involving participants. I invited 45 young adults to engage in a group-designed space through group discussions, allowing participants to share their concerns. Additionally, the process involved the creation of fiber art using crochet techniques as a medium to guide participants away from their daily routines for a brief respite.
The experience made the participators more enthusiast in listening and open-minded through the stories that related to the problem in the phase of young adults, also the participators can train themselves to reduce the tempo of the routine with crochet activities.
Then the results of fiber art will be presented as installation art which is assembled by the participants to showed to the public. In general, this process produced new meanings from various perpectives between participators regarding decision making inlife, as well as learning the other life devision.
