Whether it is the isolation of humans or the persecution of animals, it can be understood at this moment that spiritual creatures are in an abnormal and unreal space, experiencing inescapable captivity and emotional changes in order to seek inner peace. I was inspired by Siva in Motion (Kihara, 2012). Kihara created a performance art that combines Western, Eastern, and Samoan culture and history, and She explained the movement of the 2009 tsunami with a layered silent performance video work. Her work is inspired by the sequential photography of Eadweard Muybridge and Etienne-Jules Marey, which fits the main research of my previous two reviews, and I also started the practice based on this. And Kihara's dance performance is based on a Japanese dance called Butoh which is a dance that spiritual emancipation and freedom in pursuit of the flesh. In my work, I refer to the performance Meguri – Teeming Sea,Tranquil Land (Sankai Juku, 2015), I took some alive movements from this dance and applied them to my work, thereby echoing the vitality of living beings under repression and pain. I ended up adding some drawing marks in the GIF format to reinforce the theme.
