Choice of Form 形式选择
In this project, I still want to try it in the form of multi-material illustration, so I chose to learn a new comprehensive material production — a handmade pop-up book. I learned a lot of mechanisms of pop-up books, such as square folding, triangle folding, spiral folding, and so on. This kind of stereo mechanism in pop-up books can make the picture richer.
在这个项目中我依然想尝试多材料插画的形式来完成，所以选择去学习了一种全新的综合材料制作–手工书，我学习了很多手工书的机关，比如说方形折、三角折、螺旋折等等。这种手工书中的立体机关可以使得画面更加丰富.
I used these pop-up elements to make a booklet around the topic “searching” and spice it up with new forms such as books within books. In my option, successive booklets can show the process of the long journey of “searching” more directly.
我运用这些立体元素做了一本关于“寻找”的小册子，并且利用书中书等全新的形式增加它的趣味。连续的册子在翻阅的时候更能展现“寻找”这个漫长旅程的过程性。
This page uses a scene of scissors cutting between to express the sense of suffocation in the crowd. The stifling of the attentions from the crowd as well.
这一页用剪刀剪开画面的形式来表达人群中的窒息感。来自人群投来的目光的窒息感
The design of the “book within the book” makes the whole scene more interesting and includes more possibilities. The unopened book and the white ghost around it representing the theme of temptation, they both tell the protagonist that you can discover more when you open the book.
书中书的设计让画面有了更多可能性，没有翻开的书和代表着诱惑的白色幽灵都在告诉主角，翻开我就能看到更多。
When I practiced using these pop-up elements to connect with the scenes, I also had a better understanding of pop-up books.
练习用这些立体机关和画面做联系的同时，也让我对立体书有了更多的理解
The derivation of the theme 主题衍生
Once I decided on the project’s classification subtitle, I began to experiment with different elements of “searching”. The contents of the experiment include multi-material experiment, collage and writing
自从确定了项目的分类小标题，我便开始针对“寻找”中的不同元素展开实验。实验的内容包括多材料尝试、拼贴和写作
This piece used the finished products of the printmaking workshop in our class, and made a beginning for the experiment of the project. Through the process of exploring this new way of art, I found that the visual effect of printmaking is completely different from markers.
这一组运用了我们课上的版画工作坊的成品，为项目的实验做了一个开头。通过探索我发现版画带来的视觉效果和马克笔绘画是完全不同的。

This experimental work is about the unknown and the uncertainty in the journey of searching. I used the form of marker and multi-material illustration to complete this art piece. The cotton balls represent the candy inside the jar, and we never know how the candy will taste like until we actually try it.
I left my notes beside the pink marker, it said “The candy in the candy jar is uncertain, the journey is uncertain, and so is the outcome.”
这幅实验作品是有关于寻找中的未知与不确定性的。我使用了马克笔和多材料插画的形式来完成。一个个的毛球代表着罐子里面的糖果，在真正把糖果吃到嘴里之前，我们永远不知道它尝起来味道如何，是甜是酸。
我旁边用粉色笔记录下来的思考，“糖罐里的糖是不确定的，旅途是不确定的，结果也是。”

This collage still revolves around the process of searching itself. The man’s head represents oppression and eyes, and all kinds of emotions surround me can be seen. In the process of exploration and experiment, I hope to personify emotions, which are invisible and inner things, to better express them. But the exterior is still colorful, representing the diversity of the journey.
Below this painting, I made a new attempt to collage the words and sentences from a book. This book is the one that inspired me in the first place, The Orphan Train. I tried to make a short collage poem about the journey, the changes, the destination, and the lure of candy.
这幅拼贴绘画作品依然是围绕着寻找这个过程本身来展开的，男人的头代表着压迫和目光，各色的情绪包围着我。我希望在探索和实验的过程中把情绪这种隐形的内在事物给拟人化，以便更好的表达而外在却依然是五彩的，代表着旅途中的多样性。
这幅画的下方我做了一个新的尝试，对一本书里的词句进行了重新的拼贴。这本书正是最初给到我灵感的《孤儿列车》。我尝试做了一小段拼贴诗，讲述路途、变迁、目的地和糖果的诱惑。

This collage is based on the first tunnel book “Life, until the end, is but a journey of searching”, which is used to express the process of questing oneself. I combined marker painting, collage of network materials, and writing pieces to complete this work. All the elements that appear in the art piece as suitcases, sunflowers, masks, etc. are elements that appear in the tunnel book project
这幅拼贴作品是根据第一个隧道书成品“人生至死是一场寻找”，用来表达寻找自我这个过程的作品。我结合了手绘、网络素材拼贴和写作的方式来完成这个作品。所有出现的箱子、向日葵、面具等元素都是隧道书中出现的元素.

This experimental work is derived and created according to the theme of the second tunnel book “sight”. In this work, I imagine how the theme of sight is positioned in the journey of self-searching and put forward my questions in green. How do we deal with gaze and attention?
“Sights come from different individuals,
Different gazes.
It can be soft, it can be tough.
And in the process of searching,
The attention we will meet will be the parts of the journey.”
这幅实验作品是根据第二个隧道书的主题“目光”去衍生和创作的。在这幅作品中我去展开想象了目光这个主题在寻找自我的旅途中是怎样一个定位，并且在绿色的提出了我的疑问。比如我们如何处理遇到的视线和注意？
“目光来自不同的个体，
不同的注视。
可以柔软，可以坚韧。
在寻找的过程中，
我们将遇到的目光也会是旅程的一部分。”
Research
In the part of “Unknown”, I plan to use the concept of “Magic Realism” to create derivative works. And I then try to understand the general concept of it, as the purpose of magical realism is to express the real world while adding or revealing magical elements. I summed it up as “flying turtles, floating beds and frozen sleeping”. In a word, it is a method of artistic expression full of imagination and without limitation.
在“未知”这个部分我打算运用“魔幻现实主义”这个概念来衍生创作。就去大概的了解了一下它的概念。魔幻现实主义的用途是表达了现实世界的同时加入或揭示了神奇的元素。我将它总结为“会飞的乌龟，漂浮的床，冻结的睡眠”。它总而言之是充满想象力和没有局限性的艺术表达方法。
