Alt-dentity

Enter the Metaverse! Well, sort of. Alt-dentity is based on a study about Metaverse marketing tools and their impact on human identity, and focuses on an individual's Vietnamese cultural identity. Searching for a more conscious identity in the virtual world, the loose narrative follows the creation of 'the self' by absorbing and processing cultural materials from the surrounding world.

Cycle of Violence

Giggling as she hops between hills of fluffy cotton wool, the seemingly loving and playful Bunny tries to charm and seduce us. It feels intimate, even lustful ... But suddenly Bunny turns violent! Will you stay or will you leave?
