Leisure Archive

This project investigates leisure through a hybrid virtual and physical environment, combining a WebVR space populated with 3D scans of domestic objects and figures drawn from historical Korean imagery. These figures, depicted engaging in leisure activities while wearing VR headsets, are echoed in digital embroidery within the physical installation.

Untitled

This project employs animation and Chinese shadow puppetry to produce a short film addressing climate change and the environmental impact of human activity. A traditional scene of a woman floating down a river is recontextualized against imagery of factory emissions and rising sea levels, establishing a contrast between cultural continuity and ecological crisis.
