Perceptual Constellations IV

The Perceptual Constellations series originates from the artist’s exploration of bodily experience and memory. The creative process is grounded in touch: through tactile perception, a constellation of raised dots is generated, forming a bodily map. These dots correspond not only to different parts of the body but also to the experiences and memories attached to them, becoming images that emerge from the subconscious into visual form. In Perceptual Constellations IV, the work records the artist’s bodily sensations at that specific moment: the largest oval shape at the center represents the abdomen, functioning both as the physical core and as a locus of emotional and energetic concentration. Through these tactilely generated signs and images, the work reveals the close interconnection between psyche and body. It emphasizes that art healing is not merely the externalization of inner emotions, but relies on perceiving and releasing through the body—only by engaging this embodied dimension can one gradually access and transform deeply embedded trauma and pain, thereby reaching a new balance. In a broader sense, the series constructs a pathway of art healing: painting here becomes a means of entering the subconscious, a journey of groping and sensing in darkness. The raised dots produced through tactile gestures transform trauma and pain into visible images, exposing the hidden trajectories of experience and existence. The works not only record the traces of psychological experience but, by concretizing bodily perception, also establish art as an essential medium for self-repair and integration. Thus, the Perceptual Constellations series is not solely about the presentation of images; it embodies a healing practice grounded in bodily touch and perception. It invites viewers to re-experience their own corporeality, to come into contact with memories that have been forgotten or repressed, and—through viewing and resonance—to re-establish connection with their inner world.
