Illusions of Life: Provoking Reflections on Existence and Reality
ABOUT
Appreciator contacted me for the "Catharsis" group show to bring a unique blend of visual storytelling to the exhibition. Recognizing my ability to create deeply evocative and immersive murals, they saw an opportunity to enhance the theme of "Catharsis" through a collaborative effort. Partnering with acclaimed animation artist Henry Hu, our combined artistic visions promise to deliver an impactful experience that resonates with the audience on multiple levels.

COLLABORATION
"TO THOSE THRIVING"
In contrast to lifeless surroundings, where everything is dead, dark, and lacking vibrancy, solitary flowers emerge. However, the only living thing here is not a genuine product of nature. It is artificially meticulously constructed.
Satirically explores the idea that one may find a more genuine sense of life in death. On the other hand, one's existence may feel artificial or disconnected from reality during life. It raises questions about the nature of our experiences and suggests the possibility of being creations of something else.
PHYGITAL
BLENDING PHYSICAL & DIGITAL
The collaboration seeks to bridge the gap between traditional physical art and contemporary digital art forms. Combining static symmetrical painting with animated sequences creates a layered narrative that enriches the viewer's experience. This innovative approach enhances the theme of catharsis and showcases the potential of interdisciplinary artistic collaborations.
