“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” - Leonardo da Vinci

The democratisation of interactive technologies has created a media climate which is bursting with diverse voices and images. However, this has prompted many to adopt desperate and unwise measures for the sake of grabbing eyeballs and accumulating “likes”. Everywhere we go, we are inundated by viral content, sensationalistic headlines and extreme opinions begging for our limited attention. This is especially prevalent in the media and fashion realm, where excessive consumerism and garish tastes are celebrated for the mere goal of creating a pretty picture. As such, I would like to advocate for the return of subleties - a faint smile, a gentle breeze, a tinge of colour, a hint of melancholy - things barely detectable yet deeply felt. Let us learn to appreciate beauty in nuance, a quality emphasised in asian aesthetics and literature yet rarely found today. 传统东方文学和美学强调含蓄内敛、耐人寻味的美。也许从浮夸肤浅的社交媒体平台退后一步，我们会更加珍惜一些细微的的感觉和摸不到的东西。 Model: Danielle V Photography: Zikki Lin

Finally releasing the mini project @jh_medium and I worked on for @nyushanghai ‘s Interactive Media Art course. It was so much fun coming up with this set of choreography and filming it around Shanghai. However, just a caveat that I have never been trained in sword dance. Nevertheless, in the spirit of experimentation and innovation, presenting to you《上剑》Blade of Shanghai! (Toggle between left, middle and right side of the screen to see me dance in three different outfits and locations. Link: https://video.helloeko.com/v/A6yvEz )
