Whispers of The Soul /心灵的低语

Whispers of The Soul is a 3-dimension video that reflects my contemplation of the oppression of females in ancient China. A new way to look at the story The Peony Pavilion is by creating the role of a woman who longed for more than the limited role society had assigned her. This work depicts the struggles, dreams, and silent defiance of women who lived in a patriarchal society where they were treated as mere objects; it reflects the awakening of female youth consciousness.

“心灵的低语”是一部时长5分钟的3d动画，反映了对中国古代女性受压迫的思考。看待《牡丹亭》这个故事的一种新方式是创造一个渴望超越社会赋予她的有限角色的女性角色。这部作品描绘了生活在男权社会中的女性的挣扎、梦想和无声的反抗，她们被视为纯粹的物品;它反映了女性青年意识的觉醒。

Nonsequence/无序

Nonsequence uses its time-based one-act playwriting to disrupt linear or expected narratives. By featuring ordinary objects and the activity of throwing trash, destabilizing assumptions about fixed beginnings and casual chains. By playing the sequence of things that happen and blur the existence of the objects, it is a way to reintroduce the object into the flux of everyday life, relegating it to the realm of memory for the reader.
Inject print, 3.5*8 in
“无序〞使用基于时间的单幕剧本来破坏线性或预期的叙事。通过展示普通物品和扔垃圾的平凡活动，动摇了关于固定起点和偶然链条的假设。通过改变事物与事件的发生顺序，模糊物体的存任。这是一种将物体重新引入日常生活的流动的方式，并将其降级到读者的记忆领域引起想象的作品。
