Material: Camera, Iphone Idea: In this piece I juxtapose two pieces. On one side is the image my parents have in mind: reading books all day, and studying diligently; however, on the other side is the actual reality: being overwhelmed in the books due to parental control, which is very painful for me.  Process: I first used many books as props, placing them in various positions. Then, I sat in the middle of the book pile to create a sense of being surrounded by books, while also conveying a suffocating feeling oppressed by these books. I captured shots from different angles and poses, overlaid two of them, and finally applied a few filters.                 

Material: Camera, Iphone Idea: In this piece I want to juxtapose two pieces. On one side is the image my parents have in mind: reading books all day, and studying diligently; however, on the other side is the actual reality: being overwhelmed in the books due to parental control, which is very painful for me. 

Material: Iphone, paper Idea: I wrote on some scraps of paper about what I lost under parental control, including freedom and happiness. One side represents the pain and oppression I'm going through, while the other side symbolizes my desire for "revenge," to break free from this control. Process: I tore the paper into irregular pieces, wrote down what I wanted to express on them, and stuck them on my face. Then, I took selfies with my phone and flashlight, capturing different expressions. Finally, I overlaid them to create a composite image.

Material: laptop, iphone Idea: In this piece I will take some other photos related to cameras, but this time through zoom. I will arrange it into a six-grid or nine-grid format, creating a complete piece of work. In each small grid, it will record some moments of my daily life, such as eating, playing with my phone, and doing homework. Obviously the other side of the zoom is my parents, so through this camera they can monitor what I do and restrict my actions.  Process: see the sketch below
