When I went outdoors, I was deeply touched by the sense of vitality in nature, so I tried to express it in different visual ways. When I looked down, I saw fallen leaves in many colours scattered on the ground, trees and flowers growing strongly from the soil, and small plants showing their own energy. When I looked up, I saw the clear blue sky, the soft white clouds on sunny days, and sometimes a bright rainbow appearing after the rain. Dragonflies were flying and stopping in the air, which made the whole scene feel even more alive. To record these moments, I used different materials and techniques. I tried traditional painting methods to show the texture and movement of nature. I also used painting software to make printed graphics. Through different arrangements such as symmetry, repetition, and copying, I explored new ways to present my feelings. These experiments helped me understand how colours, shapes, and compositions could express emotions and atmosphere. This process was not only about drawing what I saw, but also about expressing the energy I felt from nature. Each work became a reflection of the connection between myself and the natural world, showing how I translated simple outdoor experiences into visual language.
