Abstract:
“The thesis composition is adapted based on the author's childhood experience and the thoughts triggered by it. The trauma and experience of being sexual harassed by a teacher in my childhood has put me in a perennial confused emotion, and it is one of the motivations for me to express my emotions through painting. As one of the victims, I want to convey this social phenomenon through my creation so as to raise awareness in society. Through my illustrations in The Room, I
want to communicate with viewers who have the same experience, to trigger empathy, to achieve self-healing and to help others.” –Abstract
Keywords: trauma, painterly illustration, strange scene, empathy, self-healing.
