STORY TELLING 2017-8
Title: Breathing-Bound (2018)
Media: Video
Running Time: 3 min 16
Poland Feminist Artist Magdalena Abakanowicz said, “Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom and madness, between dream and reality in our mind.”
Like she said we are always struggling in our mind with outside powers. However, only art will remain pure to help build up our ideas of expression. Where we are going and what is your goal? Why do we have to struggle with circumstances? The reason is the freedom we have inside is not as strong as the powers outside. In the video, the snow storm surrounds our daily life adding stress and worries. I couldn’t see or walk. I was cold, suffering from the weather. I can’t think about my goal or enjoy my environment. After the snow storm is gone, I could listen to and see nature from two angles of the view. It felt like nature was with me from the 360 camera’s third person viewer with much brighter, more colorful moving images that could gave dynamic energy. After the sea, you can see the snow storm again. I enjoy two different views and stories with the regular view of the movie and the variety of 360 angles. Overall with two stories, I show how our lives are connected and bound together and what is important to us.
My recent work is focused on zen therapy through nature.
This work is inspired by David Lynch’s movie “Lost Highway” and his influence on my college days.

A dream of mother nature and where we will have our reunion.
I show that nature can heal our subconscious and body. Nature surrounds us and give us energy. You sit at the nature table, watch the video, then we discuss our dreams together. My dream is to be in nature with my loved ones without any anxiety in our lives. What’s yours?
Title: Air Walk ( 2017)
Medium: Video
Running Time: 04:09 min
I used a 360 camera to capture nature and art; the joys of my life. The nature at the beginning is the birth of life. The transition to the colorful city highlights the innocence of adolescence. Finally, in death we return back to the silence of nature. The 360 view captures more than just our narrow first person perspective which led to the title Air Walk. This is the view we have as spirits after we leave our bodies. I am the air that can fly in the sky and freely go anywhere I please. I am the air; surrounded by air.
