Work Description:
My aim as a communicator is to redefine how we engage with texts and images by exploring their simultaneous independence and interdependence. Aesthetically, my work utilizes visual ambiguity to prompt audience involvement, creating a struggle-reward dynamic. Conceptually, I often delve into existential themes transcending topical issues. This kinetic typographic animation portrays a dialogue between two voices, highlighting the importance of overcoming differences, whether cultural, political, or social. Sound triggers manipulate letterforms, morphing between legibility and illegibility, mirroring the challenge of understanding those who speak different languages. The animation reflects the rewarding interactions stemming from patience and focus when engaging with diverse perspectives.
