My Take on Radicant - Oat Anirut

 At first, I struggled to understand, but after reading the summary, I realized it was about changing perspectives on weeds. We often see them as unwanted, but if we shift our view, we can find beauty and value in them.

Some key thoughts from my notes:

  • Mortal or amateur? – Questioning perception and worth.
  • Plastic → facade → perfect imitation. – A contrast between artificial and real.
  • Installation art: wood → changing perspective. – Just as wood transforms into art, our views can shift to reveal hidden beauty.
Especially, I almost fell asleep in the Radicant room because the sound was like background music for sleeping.

      It totally made me feel sleepy. It might be better to listen to at bedtime.

      I like the light green of its leaves. It’s similar to the pothos in Thailand, but smaller.

    I agree with you that the artist is really amazing as they makes us recognize the value of small things

    I like your notes, Oat. You broach on some of the interesting questions this exhibition raises. Artists now often express creativity and make their point by recontextualizing found objects, in this case plant models and living 'weeds.'

Finding Your Passion & Making It Your Job

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.
