Escapia

Short for ‘Escapist’ Utopia’, these artworks are a manifestation of the artist’ loneliness and their tendency to escape every time she feels disassociated. She misses home although she is aware she cannot be home right now. She daydreams a lot and rarely in the moment, unless she’s with her loved ones. No matter how hard she tries to connect to her boring surroundings and pay attention, her mind and soul always fly away to some other place. Somewhere saturated yet peaceful, where she can transform into any kinds of entity, letting go of real life responsibilities for a change. A fleeting moment, just a taste of fantasy—although in the end she realizes she has to come back from Escapia at some point.
