No Permission.

It exists for the ones who don’t want to be branded, only burned in.

Neo-Romantic Myth:
Portraits of Loneliness
in the Age of Technology

Conceptual Digital Art

3D Visualization

Set in an age of hyper-connectivity, the work examines how digital intimacy redefines emotion, connection multiplies, yet loneliness deepens.

Through imagined spaces and virtual figures, it traces the psychological distance concealed beneath technological warmth, revealing the gap between simulated perfection and emotional presence.

Dissolving Boundaries:
Towards the

Edge of Perception

Conceptual Photography / Visual Research

A photographic inquiry into how light, structure, and space reorganize perception.

Through layered reflections and material interference, the work reveals shifting boundaries between body and image, emotion and matter, self and environment.
