Artist comments

The Room is based on the author's childhood experience and trauma that sexual harassed by a teacher as the inspiration for the creation.
I linked the protagonist with different space, scenes and installations, trying to express the strange in this way and expressing the repressed and ambiguous emotions.
Through my illustrations in The Room, I want to communicate with viewers who have the same experience, to trigger empathy, to achieve self-healing and to help others.

 

 審査員評

I love the stylization of the characters.
The detailed composition is great.
Many things happen in the illustration.
You pay attention to every detail and composes them all in unexpected ways.

The image effectively interprets the intended content, full of imagination and complexity. Matu's artistic style and the content of the image are highly compatible, with prominent modeling skills.
It is an excellent work.

The harsh experiences of life definitely influence the world and the creative vision of the artist. The fragmented and plasticized human figure as a game object is an extremely strong metaphor, but very appropriate for the theme of her works.
The composition manages to arrange a large number of elements in a very clever way to help produce a haunting atmosphere and a remarkable identity in this series of works. The art process gives the artist the chance to overcome the constraints of his preferred medium but also gives the chance to play around with his very own and beautiful human constraints.
AI deprived us from this. Stay strong.

The expressions of various objects, human bodies, and understated facial expressions are impressive.
The limited color palette and textures of objects are really vivid.

Eunbi Kang


The artist created this work based on his own trauma, and I think it was a difficult endeavor.  The surrealist style and high quality of the work caught my attention. I think the artist faced up to herself and successfully expressed her difficult-to-express feelings as art.
