This thesis is an artist statement of my graduate work “Idie.” Idie is a semiautobiographical graphic novel. The story talks about the process of a little girl, Idie, exploring the outer world and her inner being. There is no beginning and no end of this journey, just as every piece of life experiences. Because of creating this artwork, I had the chance to have a long and deep conversation with my innermost self. During the ten months of drawing, I was like walking in the dream. My soul, mind and body passed through different time and space where dreams and memory settle; I sorted out and picked up some of them, and then the story goes by itself. Idie is my another self who reveals the curtain or like an elf who leads me to the world of this graphic novel. For me, the whole process of creating is an inevitable life experience. By drawing, I realize more about the notion of “why I am here?”
