Trailor for Emotion Hazard2 (2025）: In a reality no longer accessible to the dead, a spectral presence endures within the memories of the living. Emotion Hazard 2 explores the fear of death as both a mnemonic prison and the imagined annihilation of the universe. Through fragmented imagery and architectural composition, the film constructs a suspended space between remembrance and oblivion.
Trailor for Emotion Hazard 1 (2025): The Emotion Hazard series stems from the futile human attempt to control emotions with arrogance. Emotion Hazard 1 explores the theme of anxiety through a purely compositional approach, serving as a visual interpretation of abstract emotions based on the concept of “visualizing music.” The piece uses musical rhythm as a loose narrative thread, capturing the everyday texture of anxiety—like an incoming tide of fragmented information, always pulsing within an irregularly beating heart, futilely attempting to initiate multiple cognitive processes at once. Most of the graphic motion was created through a combination of stop-motion and digital hand-drawn animation.
