Artist Statement
Frequency(2024) is an abstractive motion graphic animation of my dream scene. My personal experience of trouble sleeping inspired the scenery. A small intake of coffee causes me to lose sleep. As I researched how caffeine impacts the brain and the body, the research stated that caffeine blocks the adenosine receptor. Without the adenosine receptor, humans cannot receive the message of “sleep”, which makes the brain and organs go into hyper mode. During my attempt to sleep, I was feeling nervous and my heartbeat was fast, eventually, something like the animation showed in my head. The imagery’s color darkens and becomes more concentrated as I feel nervous and intense. The imageries are turning from slow to fast, it reflects how my brain is under the pressure of trying to sleep and tackle against the caffeine.
