i see a scientist/mechanic wearing goggles 🥽 with crazy hair
The hair reminds me of the hair on coconut
Every circle ⭕️ reminds me of different round/circles found in coconut shell making video (tools, coconut, machine)
The drawing feels quite heavy, busy and full.
Heavy because the colours dont make me feel happy.
Busy because the scientist/mechanic is working very hard.
Full because every space can see different textures.
I like and chose this picture because Mr Scientist-Mechanic is very cute.

POST-RESIDENCY
COCONUT 3.0
2/8/22
1. What's the most dearest thing in your life which is not with you anymore?
Youth, the most carefree and prime time of my life (around 16-21)
2. How does it disappear? How do you feel about it?
Time just flew by, reality set in. I grow older. I miss it alot, but i dont regret any of it because I used the time well. I just wish now life is as sinple as back then , and that i still have the body and energy to do what i had back then.
3. What's your dream/What do you most want to achieve in your life? How did you feel with it now?
I want to find and master my own style of dancing, not just learning and imitating from others. I always feel like there is more of me tht people havent seen yet, but in their mind they just think of me as a “specific certain type” of dancer (ballet). Lately I’ve been lucky enough and able to manage myself as a dancer personally, meaning alot of materials of dancing are from ny own body, and not choreographed by someone else so I guess slowly i can find and understand myself better.
4. What's missing on the journey of chasing your dream?
to be honest i am still very scared to let go of previous learnings, which made who i am today. I am also scared of failure so i would not take any risk in this journey of chasing my dream.
5. Looking back to the solo, what disappears throughout the performance?
Connection of ballet n coconut
