In terms of the lower educational attainment of our parents' generation, childhood trauma of the current generation to exhibit a tendency to be more irreversible. We are ashamed of expressing ourselves, over introspective, and finally, self-destruct after one irrelevant self-talk. All of these negative forms of self-behavior are constantly hidden in the dark.
In this work, I would like to show an in-depth conversation between another me and I by photographing my left hand via the other in the colorful backgrounds. The series of images reveals a helpless solution, which is the self-consistency of people living in the shadow of childhood trauma. Maybe this work can also be referred to as a sight of cyborg.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
Mu tong, female, graduated from the university of the arts London, majoring in visual communication.
Her works cover photography, multimedia, illustration and other fields, and convey the expression of interpersonal emotions in the current social context through different media.
Her works come with a sense of alienation that cannot be driven off. It is from her inborn emotional quality. Expressed by a sudden decrease of her emotion, she tells a story about a relaxation relationship between the surroundings and herself. Here, where she stands is not a strong cause to determine emotion, but a thermometer of it. The new and old, the bright and dark, the strong and soft... She is intended to present a dual opposition structure onto the frame, and then injects her feelings. According to such inner logic, she removes the regular question that “People must be integrated in society”. Emotion, regardless of the gap between society and environment, will force humanity to return to peace. Considering this fact, emotion and feelings exist as another form of ideology, instead of blocking the creation of ideology. The world is an amazing semantic field, one that reminds our existence everywhere, but submerged by new semanteme everywhere, and finally forgotten
