Twilight, 2023

3D visualization & VFX

In collaboration with Minhui Liu

The early concept statement relates to historical building themes, such as medieval, and gothic, which explore the historical themes of reality, illusion, and human perception. Towards the end of the project, 'Twilight' is the sight of a castle perched alone on a hill, and a fantastical altar is as calming and desirable as a glimpse into one's own inner world. This serves as part of the expression of articulation of affinities and influence with mystical fantasy environments of the inside world; a desire to push boundaries and challenge the conventional perceptions of form and space through utilising CGI. Under this expression, the audience expands and is asked whether this castle and alter exists inside them as a desire to explore the mystery combined with the historicity of what has happened in their past.
