Orchestration is the act of creating a single project from the choreography of multiple parts. It is not merely coordination but a deeper synthesis — a layering of disciplines, timelines, materials, and intentions that culminate in a singular, cohesive project. This principle is present in every instance of human and technological synthesis, from the structure of a digital interface to the design of a live performance. It is through orchestration that complexity becomes clarity.
Designers, in this context, are masters of visual, auditory and experiential orchestration. They move fluidly between concept and execution, holding space for both structure and intuition. Designers plan the appearance, function, and impact of products, systems, environments, and experiences. But beyond aesthetic or practical value, they master the ability to unify disparate elements — visual, auditory, material, and temporal — into one experiential form. This synthesis of sensory and spatial elements demands a deep understanding of how things come together, how they relate, and how they will be perceived or felt.
To design is to engage in a process — a relentless, evolving act of decision-making, refinement, and iteration. It is craftwork, it is hard work, and it requires profound dedication. The designer occupies a transformative space between raw information and meaningful visual or sensory expression. They hold the tension between logic and feeling, between data and emotion.
May we continue to hold on to the sentiment of “process” — not just as a means to an end, but as the very essence of orchestrated, creative expression.

The Time Wheel of Agricultural Civilization: An Immersive Visual Narrative of Traditional Chinese Festival Culture
Projection
Master's
Website
This project uses illustration as visual narrative to explore the re-translation of Chinese traditional festivals in contemporary expression, presented through immersive public exhibitions. It conveys festival myths, temporal rhythms, and cultural memory, examining their contemporary estrangement, rupture, and media reconstruction. Centered on the five major festivals—Spring Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat, Qixi, and Mid-Autumn—it constructs an agrarian cyclical "Wheel of Time." Using a circular long-scroll installation, rotating animation, projection mapping, and sound design, it creates a multi-sensory cultural experience. Festivals are living containers of cultural identity, awakening especially younger audiences to rethink their deep connection with tradition.
