Artwork description: As I travel around to explore the world, I constantly think about the memories of my journey and life. Because I grew up around the music world, I constantly recall memories through music and sound. In this installation, I am visualizing the movement of my fingerprints on piano when playing a random melody that came right into my mind when I thought about my memories. Because I played the melody on a flat sheet of glass, there isn’t any sound. The melody could only be played once since I played it out based on the feelings that I had at that moment, so the song couldn’t be replayed or listened again. Therefore, the whole process became a part of my memories as well. Making marks is like leaving footprints as we journey through life. They are being created in every moment of our life - every time we take a breath, every time we make a choice, every time we smile and every time we frown. It takes a long time to engrave the markings on glass, just like how it takes time for us to live a life. Memories couldn’t be erased and changed, just like we are not able to erase an engraved mark on glass. Fingerprints engraved on the glass are very detailed, sharp and clear when the shadow of them are blurry, as if every memory that we created up to date is always clear and fresh, but they become blurry and vague as time goes by and as we keep growing up.
