This article showcases Duyi Han’s work, an avant-garde artist, designer, and creative director who explores emotion-based perceptual experiences through a range of mediums, including visual art, 3D videos, furniture, interiors, architecture, and exhibition design. The project that they focus on in the article is called “Cardiac Prayer”, which delves into the psychology of a delicate moment between despair and hope through CGI images of sculptural and functional objects that have a pink glow-in-the-dark effect. This emotional piece displays furniture-like objects that also look somewhat like medical tools, reminiscent of IV drip poles. These strange pink objects placed in surreal settings are described as Han’s exploration of the human psyche. According to the article, the artist describes their work as embodying the mind’s fixation on crisis and fear, as well as its yearning for freedom from suffering. These seemingly medical objects also have a note of religion through their glowing quality and honorary positioning within the compositions. Medical objects are usually presented as harsh but in this situation, they are soft and light pink, with this glowing soft tool-like fabric quality to them. These contradictions are an integral part of the work, it has a feeling of reflection and sadness which I admire.
