Kaio
Lecture performance, Installation, Video recording (27’17”)
Since 2024
Through lecture performance and the symbol of the intellectual, I explore self-reconciliation by examining the conflicts between reality and personal imagination. This work reveals and acknowledges my anxieties, desires, and pretenses about personal existential value, academia, and the art system. "Kaio" exposes my struggles with artistic identity and values in society, while embracing my critique of the outside world—reflecting on how our critical eye and status anxiety stem from personal shortcomings. I hope to use this work to awaken others to the importance of self-identity and self-reconciliation.
