Visual Communication – Melvin Lee Jun Hong

Project Description

By exploring the relationship of an “Ancestor” and “Descendant”, we can investigate their connection and intertwined reliance. The act of burning paper offerings functions as a platform for this relationship to exist. It is a process of continual exchange that takes place between the living and the dead, which reinforces the fundamental Confucian value of filial piety.

This work characterises the relationship by constructing an imagined world conceived from the minds of the “Descendant”, that resemble a psychedelic space of extravagance and exaggeration.

Is burning paper offerings a duty of filial piety, or is it merely an emotional and spiritual assurance for the “Descendant”?
