FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
YW: I like to find inspiration in my life, it can be recent events or my feelings. I like to convey feelings to viewers through my works, so as to achieve the function of communication and resonate.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
YW: This work explores the invisible pressure of life and how they are formed. The work uses the unusual combination of hands and eyes, making people feel uncomfortable is exactly what I want to convey.
FS: What are your future plans for this award winning design?
YW: I will continue to explore and research this topic, maybe through different methods or media to add more depth to the work.
FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
YW: There are currently ten works in this series, and it took a year from the idea to these ten works.
FS: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?
YW: This work has a lot to do with me personally. I am a sensitive person and easily feel pressured by other glances or actions. Sharing these thoughts is also a process for me to relieve stress.
FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
YW: If there is any opportunity to cooperate in any form, I would very much welcome.
FS: What made you design this particular type of work?
YW: This series of works is presented in a surreal way. After many discussions and designs, I feel that the surreal way of presentation can maximize the tension of the picture and attract the viewer's eyes.
FS: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?
YW: YiLan Liu is a Taiwanese artist, and her works have inspired me a lot. In her work you can feel the richness and subtlety of emotion, which also influences the way I interpret my work.
FS: Who is the target customer for his design?
YW: Interested collectors.
FS: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
YW: In this work, I combined my own cultural background and living environment, and it is a work that is difficult to reproduce.
FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
YW: The name is really a difficult question, and it bothered me a lot in the early stage of creation. When I understand how my pressure is formed, I also reinterpret this pressure in the work, so the name "Interpreting Discomfort" is very intuitive to me and fits my work well.
FS: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?
YW: Oil paint.
FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
YW: The hand and the eye are inspired by the Thousand-Handed Avalokitesvara, the story of Avalokitesvara is teaches people to love and care, but too much attention is a trouble for a shy person like me.
FS: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?
YW: I develop my projects on my own.
FS: What is the role of technology in this particular design?
YW: Technology is important in this design. In order to avoid unnecessary association during viewing, the accuracy of hands and eyes is required.
FS: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?
YW: In the early stage of the creation, in addition to my own ideas, I also collected the uncomfortable feelings of many people around me. In addition to the presentation of pictures, color is also a main research direction.
FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
YW: The technical aspect is a challenge, in order to make the work look more realistic, I practiced hundreds of hands. And then thinking about how can this idea resonate with the audience.
FS: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?
YW: I want to share my work with more people, but also to tell people who feel in the same way that they are not alone.
FS: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?
YW: Practice and not be afraid to make mistakes.
FS: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?
YW: No, thank you.
