Millicent Lin
“Time” is cyclical yet linear. Yet, “Time” also functions at different speeds for different people. If “Time” is linear, then where is the end? If “Time” is cyclical, the same question applies. Where does “Time” start? Where does it end? Can you grasp time? Can you feel it? These myriad amounts of questions are neither answered nor addressed in this piece. They are simply present.

Power In Accessibility
In the video, I highlight the challenges people with disabilities in India go through on a daily basis. The reason why I explore this topic is because I am Indian-American and Disabled myself. I want to show how society perceives people with disabilities in India. Through this video, I hope to address and change my culture’s perception on disability.

Suspended
From the beginning of March 2020, America has found itself living a new cautious way of life. Masks are now expected, needed when leaving the house. Friends and Family have no longer become an everyday sighting, but only to be interacted with over social media. With current talks of what feels like an imagery vaccine, America hasn’t improved since the first outbreak of Covid-19.
Suspended explores the repetition and loneliness Covid-19 has imposed on the younger generation. It also explores the feeling of wanting and dreaming, as the world feels as it is still moving while America is at a standstill.

Milk Run
Milk Run is more than just a guy going out to get milk for his coffee, it’s about how we take simple tasks or insignificant events and find ways to make them more enjoyable by including the things we like to do, no matter what it may be. We often have a presumed idea about what makes a person tick, but in reality we never truly know their motive. This video was my creative take on how this character takes a simple task of getting milk, and turning the process of completing it into something much more fun for his own enjoyment.

Walking into the Room
My media work from Fall 2020 has revolved around the idea of bringing the outside world to home. During this pandemic many of us do not have access to art galleries and museums. It is nearly impossible to make the audience feel like they’re in space from a video. I decided to play upon this feeling to create a space with a new meaning. My project Walking into the Room is a 3D rendition depicting the rooms from the Mask of the Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe. In this piece I touch upon the theme of Life more so creating a physical incarnation of life that the audience enters. The continuous flow of each room represents the ongoing, non stop continuation of age. The uncanniness of the room giveaway to the idea of life as a preset mold. This relates to today’s contemporary thoughts about the systematic feel of the everyday. I want the audience to feel uncomfortable in these rooms as this piece is a representation of something intangible and the inhabitability of age.
