My Take On Radicant -- Hanako Iwatsuki

 Firstly, I couldn't understand the video, but through the video, I felt as if the plants were speaking to me. Seeing them from unusual angles allowed me to reconsider plants as living beings. The models in a video seemed full of life, and I felt a kind of mystery in them. To sum them up, This video made me feel surreal and ethereal.

As far as installation is concerned, I found it was very interesting that this pavilion is always changing. Each moment was a unique piece of art which is thing painting or sculptures cannot do.

In the end, this exhibition made me see plants more clearly as living things than Before. From now on, I will probably hesitate to step on the plants even a small flower growing in the grass.

      I prefer installation to Radicant because Radicant was too difficult to understand for me...

    Totally. This video emphasized how fleeting plants are and made us feel like we should cherish them more than before.

    I agree with you Hanako that the artist makes me see that each plant is delicated and also has its own unique design and value.

    Insightful response. Hanako. I also found the video of the plant & fungi models fascinating. The striking cinematography of the models against a dark background gave the plants a 'larger than life' presence, verging on the cosmic.

      Thank you! Consideration from the perspective of cinematography is very interesting!!! Perhaps that made me feel mystified.

Emma Rosen suggests asking yourself 3 questions to help clarify what kind of work you should do. They are "What skills do you want to be using at work?" -- Do you like to lead a team, write or solve problems? "What do you want to get out of work?" -- It could be the chance to change the world or to enjoy variety or, say, autonomy in the workplace -- and "What kind of working environment would you prefer?" -- Do you want to work in an office or outdoors, for a big company or start your own? How about you? Respond to Emma's 3 questions in this post. Emma also suggests it is important to do multiple work placements in a range of careers. That way you can choose a job based on knowledge and experience rather than assumptions, hearsay and expectations. Is this something you would like to try? If so, how could you make it happen? Emma characterises herself as a wide achiever rather than a high achiever and suggests that the 'portfolio career' where o...

  I disagree the result of personal test which I am assessed as innovator. I don’t see myself as imaginative, sociable and sympathetic. I like to talking, but I rarely start conversations myself. I also disagree that I assessed as creative, I think creative person act out of line, but I behave as a normal people and have not professionality anything. I only agree with that I am assessed as rebellious. I used to don’t follow what teacher says in school. I did what I wanted to do freely.

  I totally agree with this result. I think one of my strengths is being conscientious and mature. I always care about other people’s feelings and try to see things from different perspectives. This result also says that I tend to avoid conflict, which is true because I don’t like trouble or arguments with others. I try to avoid them as much as possible, even if it means enduring something unpleasant. However, I know that avoiding conflict is not always a good thing and sometimes doesn’t lead to productive outcomes.  If I had to disagree with one point, it would be that others take advantage of me. I’ve never felt that way. If I realized that someone was trying to take advantage of me, I would make sure to express my opinion clearly.
