This thesis attempts to show the inextricable relationship between art and life by combining individual life experiences and reflections, different periods from my art practice, and its contextualization within the history of art. The first chapter will be set in the context of my art practice prior to my MFA program at the University of Manitoba. From painting to jewellery to performance, these seemingly huge leaps are actually traceable, and these changes correspond to certain periods in art history. In this process, I took my life as a source of inspiration for my art practice and materialized it until I found a way to dematerialize it.

The second chapter will introduce my artistic practice during my MFA program at the University of Manitoba, which can be broadly divided into language, image and sound. I will cite different works in each section and discuss theoretical reflections related to them. The third chapter will focus on my graduate exhibition at the School of Art Gallery, which involves the topics of technology, humans and space. I consider the exhibition as a work of art in its own right, rather than a vessel for other works.
