Abstract

This report aims to investigate how to correlate the idea of conceptualisation of myself who has tribulation in adulthood into visual in the form of printmaking. Research has been conducted by studying the causes of anxiety and fear in adulthood as well as digital printmaking art forms to convey the latter subject. The objective of this research is to explore the conventional and contemporary approach of print media by implementing surrealist art into art-making to show the symbolisation of the feeling of tribulation of adulthood. This concludes that art is significantly influenced by subjective experience, which can no longer be conveyed through an emblematic structure but rather through individual ordering systems. Authenticity and self-reflection are both sources of content and form.
