The rapid changes in the modern society and diffusion of constantly updated information and media have compelled us to live in an environment full of drastic changes and competitions. A simple and stable job has almost become a far-fetched goal. The hectic life and highly diverse and heavy tasks are what most basic-level workers in a metropolitan have to cope with every day. In this study, the researcher focused on his process of creating art after doing labor at work. In addition to multiple creative media, the researcher attempted to explain his stress and feeling of powerlessness in the workplace, trying to express his behavior in an alternative way and how his has transformed his labor complex into art elements. After self-examination and analysis, the researcher decided to use “self-sculpture and self-portrayal” as the title of this creative art work. The art creation process was explained in five chapters as follows: Chapter 1 Introduction: The motivation, objective, and scope of the art creation were introduced. This chapter traced the researcher’s creative intentions and explained how his experiences and anxiety in the job market became a key element of his art works. Chapter 2 Creative Background and Theoretical Foundation: Through investigation into the researcher’s background and contemporary social phenomena, this chapter explored the context in which the researcher created his art works, which could explain the possible development of his creative processes. Chapter 3 The Self Vocabulary Derived from Labor at Work: This chapter depicted the researcher’s emotions and perceptions at work. The depressive disorders caused by “suppression” of emotions and by “depressions” were actually a reflection of his mind. By taking self-portrait pictures, the researcher turned the reflection into a new vocabulary of self-expression. Chapter 4 Explanation of the Work: Based on images of self-mocking faces, this chapter probed into the meaning of the images and explanations by other creators. Further, this chapter placed wooden sculptures and paintings in parallel and associate them to demonstrate another presentation of arts. Chapter 5 Conclusion: The form, content, and media of the work were analyzed, and conclusions were proposed.
