Atlantis is an opening animation created for a slot game interface, set in the mysterious theme of a lost underwater civilization. The animation immerses players in a cinematic undersea environment featuring half-buried ancient ruins, swaying marine plants, and shimmering light rays refracted through the water. A glowing treasure chest placed at the golden focal point serves as both a narrative and visual centerpiece, setting the tone for an engaging gaming experience.

Evoeats Revelatio is granded in disaster fiction and environmental narrative, employs dynamic imagery, virtual environments, sound, and sculptural installations to shape a speculative future world ravaged by extreme heat. Against the backdrop of pressing ecological and food crises, people are attempting to maintain a precarious food chain by changing their dietary habits and attitudes towards non-human entities.The project uses VR to recreate a post-disaster world, immersing viewers in survival challenges. Scattered news clips document the events, forming an interactive virtual gallery.

The Narcissus Restaurant is a speculative design project that explores the concept of a virtual dining experience in the metaverse. It aims to address the key challenge of how food, which traditionally serves the function of satisfying hunger, can evolve in a virtual space where physical nourishment is no longer necessary. The central problem is how to design virtual food that fulfills emotional and aesthetic desires.

The "Preset Tastebuds" project visualizes the composition of additives in industrial food. The focus of the project is to convert 16 commonly used food additives into visual models through the theory of synesthetic design. By utilizing a program built with geometric nodes, the numerical data of these additives is input into the system, transforming the abstract concept of taste into a visual experience

The Breeding Program is a speculative experimental design exploring the fusion of human and plant genes. Through AR-based interactive simulations of biological experiments, it aims to examine the ethical issues surrounding genetic engineering and the exploitation of nature.
