Abstract

LOOK! is a conceptual art and design project rooted in the simple, radical act of paying attention. It explores how overlooked fragment s of everyday life such as urban debris, textures worn by time, or incidental compositions can reveal symbolic meaning when approached through slow observation and intuitive response. Guided by the practice of the dérive and the philosophy of presence, I gathered over 500 abstract occurrences from my daily environment, allowing them to lead my creative process. Through archival curation, material exploration, and layered collage, these fragments evolved into a personal visual language—one that speaks to both internal states and external landscapes. The work blurs the boundaries between photography, design, and conceptual art. It embraces both precision and spontaneity, structure and disruption, reflection and reinterpretation. Each piece challenges habitual ways of seeing, inviting the viewer to slow down, to shift perspective, and to find resonance in what is usually overlooked. Ultimately, LOOK! is a meditation on perception, transformation, and creative authorship. It reflects my own journey of breaking routine, rediscovering intuition, and discovering meaning through an abstract lens. The project asks both artist and audience to move beyond surface layer of things, and to recognize the extraordinary potential hidden within the ordinary.
