“My Symbolic Growth and Formation of Identity Throughout Life’s Journey”
Hi there! I’m excited to share a little sneak peek of my senior project, which is very close to my heart. Unlike my previous work, this project is a personal journey—both in its story and visuals. I’m exploring my own growth and identity, so I’ve been having fun playing around with textures, colors, and styles that really feel like “me.”
I’m still in the process of creating the style frames, but I wanted to give you a glimpse of what I’m working on. I hope you enjoy this behind-the-scenes look as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it so far!

Scene 1
The Beginning
The journey begins with a symbolic moment, as the claw machine catches a gacha (a capsule toy), representing the start of something unknown.
Scene 2
Childhood/The start of the journey
Before the self is formed, everything is fluid and undefined, symbolizing the early stages of life. Objects gradually shift from 2D to 3D, reflecting the growth
Scene 3
School/The development of personality begins
As life progresses, the self starts to form and transform. The asset begins to be textured and gains more detail, representing the shaping of personality through education and experiences.
Scene 4
Struggles and adversities
The background constantly shifts, reflecting life's challenges.As the elements move down the stairs, parts of the form break off, symbolizing hardship and loss.
Scene5
Rebuilding After Hardship
Each break leads to rebuilding, with the character reforming in a stronger, more intricate way. The new textures reflect the personal growth that arises from overcoming struggles.
Scene 6
The Jar of Identity
The elements pile up inside a jar, symbolizing the accumulation of life’s experiences that shape identity. As the jar fills, it represents the completion of the self, with the design reflecting a restrained, minimalistic, bold, and metal aesthetic, embodying the qualities that represent who I am today.
