Siyat Moses
1994 Born in Taichung, and currently active in Taipei.
2017 B.F.A, graduated from Dept. of Fine Arts (Printmaking), TNUA
2017 M.F.A, graduated from Dept. of Fine Arts(Printmaking),TNUA
Mixed ethnicity of Seejiq and Minnan. Siyat Moses, meaning ‘ son of Moses: Siyat ’, is the name past down from father to son, a tradition of the Pan-Atayal group of the Taiwanese Indigenous peoples; while Yuan Min stands for the ethnical combination of ‘Yuan’ (Indigenous) and‘Min’ (Minyan) in the literal sense.
Once, by accident, I found a piece of writing on the internet my father has wrote for me. In it, he expressed his expectations concerning my being a half-Indigenous descent, which later became an incentive for my creative development. My artistic practice concerns my contemporary Indigenous identity, with regard to ethnicity, gender and image perception, and how I come to terms with it under the acceleration of modernisation and globalisation. My works often adopt the two-dimensional and indirect qualities of printmaking as well as other mediums that allow for the necessary dialogue.
Some arguments that repeatedly occur in my works are:
‘Who am I?’
‘Where do I come from?’
‘Where do I go?’
‘I am here, and does that mean I am my present self?’
Through autobiographical recalls of emotions, I aim to evoke and connect with the audience’s shared life experience.
