- I have been continuously hunting for my connection with the world, experiencing solicitude as well as telepathy existing among people.
In post-COVID-19, the questions of how to reconnect to the community, build a grassroots engagement, and achieve artistic engagements and conversions across screens in cyberspace have become significant to be explored. With the development of digital space and social media, our society is encountering an era in which everyone participates, and the notion of public space is constantly changing. More than information communication and Multi-Media, the Internet also merges the public space, the private sector space and the personal spaces seamlessly (Camp and Chien, 2000), which has completely shifted our way of interacting and participating with society. "the social tools of web 2.0 provide a powerful platform for cooperation, collaboration and creativity（Smith，2009), which can integrate the creative practice into the dynamic interaction between online users and create dialogues between different cultures."
I traced the psychological impacts of the dwelling environment and isolated experience during COVID-19 upon the public, then invited the public to provide distance care by sharing nature journey stories via social media. As an event of collective memory, isolation is more likely to arouse the viewer's reaction and empathy. Moreover, the reasons leading to the COVID-19 and isolation incident make it closer for people to think about the relationship between man and nature at that time. More participants shared their feelings of loneliness and longing for nature. Sharing landscapes, stories, and exchange activities arouse the public's interior and exterior movement of memory — emotions and thinking, as well as complete a self-narrative — how we treat our nature and environment and how we exist together.
The ongoing effects of the pandemic have caused everyone to suffer from everyday experiences and emotional anxiety, which established a foundation for empathy in conversations. It has complemented the creative activities in that people from different situations, and cultural backgrounds could find similar experiences and emotional resonance when we meet and connect. In these in-depth exchanges, we began to realize the companionship between us and simultaneously participated in others' thinking and creation processes. Gradually, we have become emotional experiencers and creative collaborators of each other, exploring how art practice and nature's beauty can accompany us in tough times.
