About me
I am a multi-disciplinary designer who has a passion for image-mak- ing and sound design serving the purpose of communication. I have worked with a wide range of different techniques, mediums and materials in order to establish a poetic visual system which could benefit my professional career. As far as my process is concerned, I am independent, self-motivated and ready to explore experimental routes as well as not afraid to challenge my comfort zone and solve any problem. Furthermore, I have a great interest in cybernetics, 3D imaging and the influence of digital technology on our daily lives.
Projects
  • Narcissus
    NarcissusThe project illustrates the death of the Greek mythological character Narcissus. The human body sculpture reflects our own vision and aesthetic of perfection which integrates with the endearment of digital appearance - illumination and transparency. The perfection of this virtual human vessel is disrupted and enhanced by nature through hundreds of flowers blooming from the head and creeping along the body.
  • dentity Crisis of Time Traveller
    dentity Crisis of Time TravellerIdentity crisis is a common psychological phenomenon during adolescence. It is a self-construction process by continuously questioning one’s self who I am, what is my pursue. Adults would also experience this mental shift when they encounter a challenge to the sense of themselves. This project is to address identity crisis within a sci-fi context. After a series of missions, the time traveller is stuck in a dark space. The external emptiness drives him to start investigating his inner world.
  • Noise As Information
    Noise As InformationNoises are generally defined as undesired information and a failure in the communication process. This project reveals the transformation from the unwanted to the wanted, by using colour noises as the essential medium in order to assemble an informative composition. The arrangement comprises of noise sound waves that are converted into tridimensional form and Its top surface becomes a canvas that a piece of message can be projected on.
