[when sorrow being downloaded twice] is a deconstruction and reinterpretation of physical albums. Inspired by K-pop album production streamline, this project demonstrates how, in an era where physical albums are on a decline, they could still be transformed from general commodities into collectibles or more profoundly, personalised items, thereby establishing the in-depth connection with the audience.Research Project

oddsome anniversary entails the documentation of individuals who were present during a particularly challenging period of my life and is of a personal nature. The names and moments were rendered concrete as tracklist and ending credits, which were composed into tangible clothing later that can be disseminated, worn, observed and presented.

‘...As students, designers are encouraged to make expressive, nuanced work, and rewarded for experimentation and personal voice...But then graduation hits, and many land their first jobs building out endless Google Slides templates or resizing banner ads. The disconnect is jarring – not because the work is beneath them, but because no one prepared them for how constrained and compromised most design jobs actually are. We trained people to care deeply and then funnelled them into environments that reward detachment...’

‘...At the same time, designers are expected to constantly curate a public-facing identity: to brand themselves, stay visible, and make it all look effortless...Personal branding became a kind of silent arms race, one where self-promotion had to be strategic but appear spontaneous. Irony and sarcasm became tools to manage that contradiction, making it seem like the thought put into self-presentation was just naturally easy.’
