Manga Ormolu enters the dialogue on contemporary culture, technology, and globalization through a fabricated relationship between ceramic tradition (using the form of Chinese Ming dynasty vessels) and techno-Pop Art. The futuristic update of the Ming vessels in this series recalls 18th century French gilded ormolu, where historic Chinese vessels were transformed into curiosity pieces for aristocrats. But here, robotic prosthetics inspired by anime (Japanese animation) and manga (the beloved comics and picture novels of Japan) subvert elitism with the accessibility of popular culture.
Working with Asian cultural elements highlights the evolving Western experience of the “Orient.” This narrative is personal: the hybridization of cultures mirrors my identity as an ethnically-mixed Asian Canadian. My family history is one of successive generations shedding the markers of ethnic identity in order to succeed in an adopted country – within a few generations this cultural filtration has spanned China, India, Trinidad, Ireland and Canada.
While Manga Ormolu offers multiple points of entry into sociocultural dialogue, manga, by nature, doesn’t take itself too seriously. The futuristic ornamentation can be excessive, self-aggrandizing, even ridiculous. This is a fitting reflection of our human need to envision and translate fantastic ideas into reality; in fact, striving for transcendence is a unifying feature of human cultural history. This characteristic is reflected in the unassuming, yet utterly transformable material of clay. Manga Ormolu, through content, form and material, vividly demonstrates the conflicting and complementary forces that shape our perceptions of Ourselves and the Other.
Answer:
A. A simple background story
Explanation:
Answer:
Hmm...
"When people turn to look at me/they see one thing/when I feel like something else completely/
Why do I feel like I'm living a lie?/Walking through my life listlessly/unsure of who I am/I feel like a shadow/following a person throughout the day/but never able to see the light/
How did I get here?/Lost with no purpose/Entangled in a web of my own making/I built myself a wall of lies/and now I'm paying the price/
Trapped behind my own pain and tears/I need love now more than ever/Rejected, alone, disgusted, and feared/Caught in a storm/but this can't be forever"
As for you, just write what's on your mind. If you need someone to sing a song you wrote, you can always ask me. And if you give me credits for the inspiration of the lyrics, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
