Deep Sentiments In Silence

Couple Cups with Customized 

This work represents an early exploration in the studio's research trajectory, investigating how East Asian conceptions of time and space might be translated into experiential structures across hybrid media.

Traditional ink landscape painting already carries layered understandings of temporal flow and spatial depth. This project asked: what happens when temporality is no longer confined within the image, but generated and perceived within another spatial dimension? Sound, as a fundamentally temporal medium, was translated into a visual landscape form. Through AR, time unfolded as spatial layering, allowing acoustic flow to become perceptible within a virtual field. As water was poured into the cup, physical liquid and virtual ink imagery mirrored one another, creating a convergence of presence and representation. Temporal movement became not only something heard, but something seen and inhabited. Designed as a paired set, the gesture of pouring also carried a subtle East Asian symbolic dimension — nurturing relationality through shared temporality.

The work functioned both as a cross-media translation experiment and as an early spatial enactment of East Asian aesthetic structures.

To see the self

Illustration

Every outward gaze is, in truth, a return to the self.

An eye contained a dancing figure — allowing perception to fold back upon itself. Viewing became both outward and inward.

Waltz

Illustration

When the body becomes an eye, the gaze begins to dance. Between seeing and being seen, the gaze whirls in a silent waltz.

Interwoven lines derived from gestural movement formed eyes without clear beginning or end. The drawings operated as planar surfaces that implied spatial relationality. 

In dancing, gazes intersect; in tracing motion, perception repositions itself.

Cyclical Structures and Cross-Cultural Perspective

Some works placed geometric looping structures — reminiscent of visual paradox staircases — within East Asian compositional logic. Visual contradiction was reinterpreted as a field of continuous circulation.
This series examined intersections between different spatial understandings across cultures.

Continuous Line and Spatial Fold of Perspective

A single rotating line eventually forms eyes and faces. Spatial positions and viewpoints compress into a single continuous trajectory, embedding the multiplicity of space within temporal extension.
The looped line carries both time and spatial relationality.

Fate's labyrinth: Fingerprint

Illustration

An unrepeatable pattern, a labyrinth one must walk through alone. Whose gaze lingers upon the traces of life?

A fingerprint marks life's singular, unrepeatable truth. Its ridges are no fixed stamp but a concealed labyrinth of choices and turns. Gaze long enough and the maze becomes an eye, reminding us: meaning dwells not only in the lines bestowed, but in how we look—and how we read the road.

VR Experience

In the early research phase, VR works began to systematically integrate phenomenology, semiotics, and surrealist strategies to examine how embodied perception generates meaning across space and time.
Phenomenology informed attention to the structure of lived experience; semiotics introduced metaphorical and symbolic layers; surrealism operated as a method to produce tension between reality and subconscious imagery. These frameworks were not stylistic additions but were translated into perceptual mechanisms within immersive space.
Through spatial flow, cyclical configurations, and symbolic environments, meaning emerged through movement and perception. Eastern notions of circulation and relational space began to surface more explicitly during this phase.
