I first observed the shapes of various apple cores. Subsequently, I requested photographs of apple cores from numerous individuals after they had finished eating their apples. Each person provided me with distinct yet fascinating images of their cores. It seemed I could discern the circumstances and psychological state in which they had consumed the apple from the appearance of their cores. Thus, I began by sketching the outlines of their apple cores and labelling them. Ultimately, I intended to compile a book narrating the stories of these apple cores, aiming to inspire reflection on our current societal realities.
4. Reflection:
This project focuses on the visual and sociological observation of apple cores, as they serve as traces of existence throughout my research. They embody the pace of life and the psychological state of modern individuals, with each bite mark representing an unconscious stroke, a sculpture of emotion and time. Thus, I shall create a book titled The Core Archives to document discussions on how individuals 'consume' time and life, translating these concepts into visual expressions. Employing a red colour palette as the foundation, the shape of the apple core will be outlined with lines, while each person's emotions will be visually represented through the apple core's form.
Apple cores—this over-symbolised emblem of consumerism is here transformed into a biological specimen of private emotion. Each bite mark is an ephemeral carving of sentiment upon matter, an unnoticed bodily politics within the act of consumption.
3. Story:
In Britain, I developed a daily habit of eating apples, nibbling one at different times of the day. When I was idle, my apple cores were always quite small, yet when I was busy, the cores grew large. I would stare blankly at the cores, wondering if even an apple core could reveal when different people had eaten their apples and the psychological state they were in at the time. So I began observing the cores from apples eaten by people of different ages, at different times, and in different mental states.
