Plastic Arts hold various genres, including Chinese and western painting, printing, sculpting, audio-video multi-media making, etc. With the progress of eras in which new materials are being invented and creative ideas are dynamically transferring, creators, among the training of art skills, are seeking for abilities of the combination of materials out of plastic shapes, ways of thinking based on materials, skills of creating art forms, for the purpose of expressing ideas or opinions in art works by these measures.

The study is to find out the ways of creating artworks with painting and multi-media, searching for the spiritual factors, like “time” and “variations”, among art forms. The writer has been trying to pour her viewpoints on changing of the destiny to the art works, including the image of “hand”, patterns of palm lines, and elements in numerology altogether to create the series of works, which show the great interest of the writer’s in Palmistry, and the adoption of the theory and the perspectives of Palmistry from different angles of art creation, so as to shape personal style in an subjective way. Here the main symbol of artworks is based on the image of “hand”, and it has been extended and transferred to broaden the differences between the series of the works, and has also developed potential manifestations.

The thesis contains the first chapter: the motive, purpose, content, method, range and limitation of the research, outlines the major study on mix-media artworks, not on Numerology and Palmistry. The second chapter is the theoretical part of “Becoming”, the goal of which is to speculate on the philosophical concept of “Becoming”, and to preface the depiction on the “Becoming” of this thesis. The theoretical foundation refers to the quality of materials and the visual features of the symbols of Palmistry. The third chapter is about the approach to create works, to explain how to transfer knowledge and thoughts to the elements of the artworks, in which includes “ transformation of readability”, “symbols and application” and “ study on mix-media and coherence in mix-media”. The fourth chapter is the explanation of the process of creating the series of “Becoming” works, which is composed of three episodes: “Secrets of Palmistry”, “Practices of Becoming” and “Mental Retreat”, with the employment of practical creating methods. There are totally twenty art works. The fifth chapter is the conclusion, which is to examine the preliminary research goal and question on the basis of the results of the study. Wish to be contemplation for the future.
