INTERVIEW
Questions for Dion
- What is a significant memory/representation of yourself? Broken inside and out
- Breaking the tip of her pinky from getting kicked from dance at 1am outside a supermarket
- Last year she got a turf toe last year on her left big toe and the same thing happened this year at the same dance event
- when i broke my pinky and didnt yet know it was broken, i said “it better be broken because if its only a sprain i feel so stupid/like a pussy bc iT HURTS” then I felt mega british convert bc i did everything with my pinky hyperextended illustrating, drinking from my mug, showering
- all that bullying made me grow up really fast mentally, bc it was either i turn into a bitch or turn wise lol and at times i really hated being so ‘wise’ because it’s either to hate than to understand and forgive
- Describe habits of yourself
- Another thing is that I’m the type to do something i like repeatedly for literal months and then get sick of it. like listening to a song is the basic one, then in periods of my life i’ll eat literally everyday a bowl of oatmeal with water, honey, peanut butter, banana, chia seeds, bits of chocolate or granola. everyday.!!
- Do you have a favourite childhood toy/chow chow that you still have now and what does it mean to you/memories you have that ties to it
- my real one was a tiny pillow but actually i liked the pillow case and its texture but one day the case was gone and i didnt like the pillow anymore
- this green one my mom bought 2 of it for the sofa and i just took it as my own
- its a moose but for several months of years i saw it upside down, i thought it was a bee with a weird thing
- It smells like home and it’s not meant to smell good, once you bring it to hall/exchange it doesn’t smell like home anymore
Questions for myself
- What is a significant memory/representation of yourself?
- Kerinci trip; it just really made me love travelling and wanting to see more of the world because I was in so much pain climbing the stupid mountain but it was so worth it in the end
- I felt so small in this huge world and found peace in escaping cities. The trip made me grow the appreciation and longings to travel and to live for experiences
- Describe habits of yourself
- ill listen to a song on repeat within a week till im sick of it and once I was obsessed with overnight oats(oat milk specifically) with bananas and i was once obsessed with running at night because sweating it out before bed was enjoyable
- i always brush my teeth in the shower
- Insecurities of myself
- that i really dislike being in front of the camera
INTERVIEW
I decided that I would take the abstract route for this project. Creating a composition each for Dion and I that take on abstract forms of objects extracted from our interview exchange.
the nature of each of our composition reflects our personality in the sense that I am relatively more reserved in sharing in comparison to dion.
- my compositions comprises of a few smaller parts that metaphorically symbolises “windows” to my personality
- whereas dion’s composition is more open and active

Teri
Visuals of my inanimate portrait:
- vertical blocked shapes – to represent city landscape (having grown up in hong kong, the city landscape is something I miss often)
- mountain and nature forms in the bottom – my love for travelling and nature
- hand outlines in the middle – to express that i really dislike being in front of the camera “dont take a photo of me!”

Dion
Visuals of dion’s portrait:
- a bowl in the bottom – to represent her daily oat bowl
- pinky forms – to represent her broken finger
- many circular forms – to represent her struggles she had with her weight and “yo-yo” dieting over the years of growing
- fluid forms – to represent her passion for freestyle dancing
