Fragments

“Fragments” is a generative art/video piece that illustrates the artist’s expression of the meaning of life. The fragmented color pixels distributed in the container metaphorically represent individuals living in this existing world. As human beings, we might wander throughout our entire life finding our own destined roles, just like the flying color dots that roam around the space and end up in their spots to make a complete painting. No matter if it’s a famous painting or not, the pixel will find its doomed position of the work to actively live out the very best of its life. All single-color-pixel can also be interpreted as a fragment of one’s life whether it is bitter or sweet, it would ultimately mingle together to achieve a beautiful artwork of life. No matter if it’s a famous painting or not, the pixel will find its inner peace resting in the position of the work and shine brightly in its own way.
