On language that breaks language Artist Statement Dec 9th, 2021 I create nonexistent words. Inspired by Wittgenstein's notion that "the limits of my language mean the limits of my world," I aim to push the boundaries of my reality and perception by inventing new words such as Anatify, Eteron, and Juxquilogy. As language is a social construct, the essence of creating new words lies in collective discussion and consensus on their meaning and usage. At this juncture, I embody these words into works of art. To me, art is not a completed message but rather a process of posing questions and conversations to the audience. The newly coined word is used as the title for the series of works. And the meaning of it gradually converges into a consistent definition through various perspectives and opinions within the audience. |
