ใHippocampusใ Installation works
โHippocampusโ is a work about forgotten memory with unforgotten love.
This complex brain structure has a major role in learning and memory. Connected with the amygdala, which controls emotional memory recalling and regulation, the hippocampus is a key brain region in the emotional brain network. Jiayi is inspired by her personal experiences and aims to communicate how her grandma experience Alzheimerโs disease. The pictures were taken several years ago when her grandpa passed away. They depict how she was crying for him. She remembered nothing but his name and her children.

ใGift for momใphysical book design
I am devoting the piece of work as a gift to my mother. I want her to know that there are people around her who love her. She is as precious as our gift, and since it is destiny, enjoy it, feel and accept the love. I have divided the work into three parts and invited my mother to participate in the reminiscence process through an interactive format. The work shows the exploration of gender and social structures through personal experiences.

ใMy Childhoodใphysical book design
Childhood seemed sad and dark to me. My mother was not good to me. I seemed to be different from other children. She always put me aside. I could only cry when I was hungry. There was only so much I could remember, so I made a book, in which I recorded my childhood in the form of photos, and I took pictures of some items from my childhood. I used a match to burn a few pages that I didn’t want to recall, hoping to reflect that period in this way. I don’t like the childhood I don’t want to remember.

When I was young, my mother was huge. My mother seemed to be very busy every day, busy with work, cooking, and taking care of us. She looked tired but I couldnโt help her. Smile at me, make me happy, coax me to be by my side. I used illustrations to draw a group of illustrations reminiscing about my childhood, and prepared them as gifts for my mother.
