Stretching of Daily Life
This video is a product of contemplation on simple human actions in public space, whether it concerns people in movement or not. Through the process, I have established the connection and simultaneity among any of these actions, as well as unity within each individual action. This specific kind of collage need to provide a new sight on our reality and daily life, and the triptych form seems to be quite a logical solution in this case.

Heaven & Hell
In this film, I’ve sought to create a multi-sensory audit of a world in collapse, bridging the widening chasm between political hypocrisy and our fractured social reality. By centering the film on the recurring motif of a fraying flag, I wanted to expose the terrifying fragility of democracy as it buckles under the weight of human greed. I chose to set this human turmoil against the indifferent majesty of nature—where falling snow and rising oceans serve as a silent witness to our choices. Complemented by Veryan’s haunting soundscape and Liz Helman’s narration, the work stands as a cinematic elegy for the marginalized. Ultimately, it is a poetic reminder that while the powerful debate our future, the heaviest burden is always borne by those least responsible for the crisis.

However, in the course of avenging his enemies, he tragically lost his young children and ultimately his own life. When his village was threatened, he used his final strength to defend it, eventually ascending a guardian deity. The creators conducted extensive field research, genealogical studies, and oral history collection to reinterpret traditional narratives in a contemporary context. Parts of the production also employed Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) techniques.The project explores innovative expressions of local cultural resources within animation, filling a gap in the representation of Hakka culture in this medium. The film has received support and attention from institutions such as the Longnan Hakka and Yangming Culture Research Center and the Zhengyu Temple Council in Chenglong Town, Longnan City, Jiangxi Province. The narrative revolves around themes of fate and personal choice, portraying Lin Zhengyu’s journey as he protects his people, unintentionally killed his adopted son, and ultimately transcends to divinity.

In a world where future technologies have seamlessly merged with humanity, the boundaries between reality and illusion dissolve. Humans traverse diverse realms, experiencing ever-changing forms of existence as they shift between perceived "reality" and virtual simulations.

This mystical creature symbolises the possibility that both our tangible world and virtual dimensions exist within a higher-dimensional reality—a realm beyond human comprehension.
