生き甲斐 (Ikigai) Between Mentor and Self is a tribute to my former academic advisor and Professor Amee Pollack. Through her guidance, I began to understand that ikigai — a reason for living — is not something we discover alone. It is shaped through mentorship, trust, and shared growth. Through Rutger’s cookie retired party sculpture on Arpril 29, 2024, and interactive voice elements, I honor her presence in my journey while inviting viewers to reflect on the mentors who have shaped their own sense of purpose.
