All the Leaves Are Brown

A short film about memory, loss, family, and a sugar maple tree.

Schizophrenia

Self-portrait conducted in my 7th year of treatment for schizophrenia. An obsession by the name of “odd-numbers” torments me in daily life.

What Is Nothing (After What Is Nothing) Studio Version

Using found educational films, direct laser animation, and nine projectors, I attempt to realize the multifaceted materiality of nothingness through the eyes of those who may be the most vulnerable to the void.

Reliving the Past By Sea 禪海

Made with found film strips that underwent decomposition/degradation technique. The film strips were buried for 28 days in vinegar, mud, cheese, nato beans, beer, and kimchi. The disintegrated imagery produced by the decomposition is reminiscent of the fragmentation of memory.

The Bearers of Memories

With every moment - one more memory. But memory sometimes goes blind, and what is left becomes hazy.

In this international collection, filmmakers navigate the mysteries of family life, health and history.
