“Lies makes us feel Betrayed.” 

Project Brief 2

Name: Melody Yeow Yee Kheng

ID: 1102700962

Artwork Title: “Lies makes us feel Betrayed.”

Artist Statement: My subject matter is the eraser. I wanted to show that eraser is like trust. The more you erase, the lesser the trust and this makes us feel betrayed. This is targeting more to friendship. In a friendship, we must gain trust but if we made a mistake, our trust that we gain becomes lesser where in the end the person will finally betray you.

Artwork Treatment: I take my own pictures and composed it myself. After that, I use Adobe Photoshop to adjust the colour and edit the picture. Then, use Adobe Illustrator to resize it based on the template given.

Semiotics and Semantics (Research)

Semiotics is referring to the study of signs and it's systems. Semiotics are applied very widely around the world however it is very complex. This signs acts as a significant form of symbol where we related to, interpreted, represented or even compared upon. It can be a synonym to a certain thing which helps in communication in the form of concepts.

Semiotics triangle.

Another simple example of the semiotics triangle.

Meaning that an unknown or known object is presented. Then it is studied, compared, and given a certain concept to it and finally is being named in terms.


Semantics is the study or meaning between a sign and symbol with what they are represented as.
Example, a girl can be represented as young, immature, weak or many more. These "meaning" is a signifier to represent the symbol of a girl.

Another clearer meaning using the example of a tree. However, this is more direct.
