Reconstructing Fragments

This collection aims to rectify the disorientation of information in the digital age and overcome the challenges caused in this topic, reminding us of the importance of selecting, reflecting the information received in our daily life.

“Reconstructed Fragments” is a collection which includes the elements collected during my vacation. It represents my perspective as well as my reflection to the “Fragmented Information” in our daily life.

I’m used to connecting with the world through the Internet and network media. Unfortunately, in our time, the ability of users to select and treat information is no longer regarded as spontaneous, while the push-up and the use of AI in marketing are getting more and more popular online. In other words, we are always overwhelmed by the fragmented information on social networks, of which the content is such time-spending and just for the pure sensation stimulating. Certainly, the fragmented information can bring us full euphoria. Whereas in the long term, the only thing that remains after the short pleasure is the sense of nihilism.

To get rid of this, I take advantage of my vacation to collect and examine in person the nature of the fragmented information on our daily life, by exploring the relationship between the land, the environment and its inhabitants, traveling through some different destinations. After the trips, I suddenly realized the reason that fragmented information in social networks can be more appealing: its perspective and the use of filtering, which impresses us a lot in visualizing. In this collection, by choosing, evaluating the information, and considering the interactivity, I therefore reorganized the places, people and environment in the photos, to reconstruct an impressive story. The recreation of the series brings me a kind of deep interactivity, like mediation, which allows me to find the balance between the fragmented information in our daily life and the inner peace with myself.

By reconstructing the fragments, I realized that information is meaningful when it initiates my thinking, whatever it’s a truth information or not. The collection, Reconstructing Fragments, aims to rectify the disorientation of information in the digital age and overcome the challenges caused in this topic, reminding us of the importance of selecting, reflecting the information received in our daily life. By discovering the fragmented information, I finally found a way out of the disorientation of information. It allows me to meet the long-lost deep happiness and reach the “Flow” status, as desired by psychologists.
