​Duet
Medium: prints, watercolor
Size: 1920X1080 pix
A short comedy created using paper puppets. Two singers, a prestigious musician, and his anonymous assistant fight for the opportunity to show off. Finally, the ambitious assistant revolted and took over the stage.
The Bug
Medium: photos, sand, paper puppets
Size: 1920X1080 pix
A pray was chased by stronger monsters and decided to evolve by embracing the dark self, yet he also lost his past as he swallowed more monsters. When he stood in front of his kind, he felt it hard to empathize with the old self.
The story metaphoric diary of my struggle while searching for my own voice in art. Under peer pressure and my existential crisis, I tried so hard to get recognition yet lost my initial passion for art.

IT WAS LIKE
Medium: digital
Size: 960x720 px
My friend's true experience inspired this animatic. She walked into the wrong class and barely survived till the last. I made her experience a metaphor: A junior swimmer forced to participate in an NFL.
This project mainly explored the dynamic between shots, the pace of the storytelling, and the twist of the writing.

Sand Dance
Medium: Sand
Size: 1980X1080 pix
This is an abstract music visualization created by sand animation. It explored the diversity of sand effects and spatial dynamics. This piece helped me to establish an archive of effects used in The Bug.
