Foundation 4D 1 – G1

With this project, I would like to convey the paradox of having transportation advance us geographically but not advancing (socially, mentally)-running in circles, going nowhere which is rather evident in Singapore where most are stuck in mundane routines.

I wanted to play on the idea that we have different modes of transportation to take us to places, but we are Read more →

When I first brainstormed for this project, I thought about paradox in two different ways: visual and conceptual paradox.

The conceptual paradox I thought about was rushing about in life yet going nowhere (routines). I thought about modes of transportation as every country has their own trains and buses and the same goes for Singapore. It is very easily identifiable as Read more →

When I received the brief, I first thought of dreams as we are supposed to start with a sleeping posture. Since dreams are not bound by reality, I decided to do some digital drawing to create some dreamlike characters.

While doing research for stop motion, I came across this youtube channel ‘Pencilmation’ that are known for their animations that plays with Read more →

When I first thought about memory and the idea of portraying that through space/physical settings, I wanted to do something personal like my house. When I heard that the story can be told from any object, I thought about a few ideas:

Being a cereal box at the lowest shelf of the supermarket (interesting to see the legs of people: a Read more →

Since the central theme of the project was “Memory”, I wondered whose memory did I want to play with for this project. I was looking for something uniquely localised, close to my heart and really, just a sincere piece of work.

“Lover’s Tears” is an oldies song that gave rise to my motivation of capturing a memory that was related to Read more →

Upon receiving the project brief, I was excited by the level of playfulness that could be included in the series of images. Since most of my 4D projects had a inclination to visuals or techniques that are less modern, I decided to continue with this streak by playing with old Singapore toys.

IDEATION The very first part of my process was Read more →

A body of work, collage-style as a way to interrogate the meaning of a character. When the make-up of our existence is defined by our own preferences and idiosyncracies, how can we create an out-of-the-world abstraction that feels neither real or true?

My major source of inspiration was how I coud utilize photography as a way to explain images sequentially. I was intrigued at how, we can sequence image in a non-sequential or non-linear manner or how a certain flow of feelings or emotion could be felt when arranged.

I was primarily intrigued by this music video

Although it felt very diaristic, Okuyama’s (the videographer) arrangment of Read more →

For this project, we were required to create a small ad collateral material based from the food item we had randomly received.

For the food item, I received a box of Pokka Green Tea. Based from my research earlier, I wanted to provoke the notion of addiction through the cover of an advert for a ‘healthier’ drink.

In short, I wanted Read more →
