Alien, Alienated and Alienation

I started to design my project through the lens of my own perceptions and understanding of alienation, as well as learning about alienation through the lens of artistic craft. In the project, I used the history of blue porcelain as a metaphor for my alienation. The study of blue porcelain’s visual elements including forms, patterns and colours painted a larger picture, where blue porcelain was wandering among different cultures and went through the evolution of people’s perception through different historical periods. Meanwhile it experienced deep alienation as well as meaningful development, which made blue porcelain itself a strong culture and symbol of many cultures. Alienation does not have to be a problem that needs to be healed; it could lead to positive results.
