The Battle Between Modern and Ancient Beliefs is a board game I designed to explore how modern lifestyles impact human beliefs and spirituality. It examines the tension between contemporary values like materialism and efficiency and ancient traditions rooted in nature, community, and the divine, encouraging players to reflect on the evolution of their own beliefs.
Through gameplay, the project sparks conversations about the clash and coexistence of old and new worldviews. It invites players to consider how ancient wisdom can adapt or fade in a rapidly changing world, offering a creative space for introspection and dialogue about the balance between progress and tradition.
The nine-tailed fox, a legendary creature deeply rooted in Chinese mythology, has undergone a fascinating evolution in its cultural significance. In ancient times, it was revered as a symbol of auspiciousness and prosperity, often associated with divine blessings and good fortune. Its image was intertwined with beauty, grace, and mystique, embodying the ideals of elegance and desire. However, as time progressed, the portrayal of the nine-tailed fox began to shift. It gradually transformed from a figure of admiration and longing into one often linked with malevolence, chaos, and disaster. This change reflects the dynamic nature of cultural narratives, where symbols can be reinterpreted based on societal values and fears.
In modern society, the nine-tailed fox has taken on even more diverse and complex meanings. It no longer fits into a single archetype but instead represents a spectrum of interpretations, mirroring the multifaceted and ever-evolving nature of contemporary culture. For some, it remains a symbol of mystery and allure, while for others, it serves as a metaphor for deception or danger. Its adaptability as a cultural symbol highlights its enduring relevance, as it continues to resonate with people across different contexts and generations. Ultimately, the nine-tailed fox stands as a testament to the richness of mythology and its ability to reflect the complexities of human society.
From a young age, I often found myself being held accountable for situations at home, whether or not I was at fault. My early memories are filled with unhappiness, and hearing peers discuss their positive family dynamics, especially during parent-teacher conferences, often triggers reflections on my own challenging experiences. While I used to console myself by believing that these actions were a form of care, this mindset has lost its effectiveness over time. Struggling to express my emotions verbally, I have turned to painting as a way to communicate my feelings and work toward improving my relationships. This creative outlet allows me to process and convey what words cannot, offering a path toward healing and understanding.
