NOTES FROM FRIEND |
Working with Chong at his place was such a wonderful experience that turned my otherwise ordinary Wednesday into a memorable day. Chong’s creative direction was clear and concise, which made the collaboration process so chill, yet so fun. He possess an incredible an incredible ability to turn ideas into reality, and his attention to detail is unparalleled. His passion for creative arts was evident in every aspect of the project, and it was joy to see the final product come to life. Thank you for having me!

NOTES FROM SOMNII |
#A posthuman reflection on the extinct nature is a project that explores the consequences of environmental degradation and human intervention on the natural world. #A dystopian vision of a post-natural future. - Provoke critical thinking about the ethical and ecological implications of human actions on the planet. #The concept of nature itself, and how it is constructed and represented by different cultures and ideologies. |

NOTES FROM FRIEND |
"Spent some time working with Chong to improve my 3d workflow to create 3d work faster and with more detail. He took me through his process and some of the different programs he uses to create his work. He took my model of a monkey king mask, originally used as a key asset for a projection that accompanied an aerial performance and applied his digital collage style to create a completely new artwork " |
NOTES FROM SOMNII | #In this barren land of sand and dust. There is no body, no flesh, no lust. Only the soul remains, a lonely spark. Wandering in the dark. #In this endless sea of dunes and rocks. There is no water, no life, no clocks. Only the soul endures, a restless flame. Searching for a name. #In this silent realm of heat and cold. There is no sound, no voice, no mold. Only the soul survives, a fading light. Dreaming of the night. |

Behind closed doors, uncertainty ends when you open it. Behind closed doors, empathy begins when you open it. Behind closed doors, frequency shifts when you tune it. Opening the door within isn’t enough.. step in and make yourself home. |
NOTES FROM SOMNII |
"Imagine a pyramid that has no base, but only four sides that meet at a point in the air. The sides are made of transparent glass that reflects the light in different colors. The pyramid seems to float above the ground, defying gravity and logic. The pyramid has no entrance or exit, but only a hollow interior that contains a pathway that leads nowhere. The pyramid is a paradox, a mystery, and a wonder." |
