Each particle expresses the randomness of one’s life, the chaotic paths that we follow, born together, moving apart, brought together again. Cherry blossoms convey a feeling of happiness and peace in the heart of the viewer. The (r, theta, phi) in the title refers to the representation of a point coordinates in a spherical environment. A very interesting aspect of using a sphere-shaped screen is the absence of bounds, having neither a beginning nor an end. This piece of generative art is rendered in real-time, offering each time different colors
and patterns.

Viruses have been inseparable from human beings since long ago, although they have been given a harder look lately. This work is a message to wish for coexistence with the life form (i.e., viruses). In a white space with plants emerging and disappearing, a constantly-metamorphosing blue object appears with a narrative voice, saying, “There is something in my body.” The object walks away after transforming into a blue cow, then the background turns black, and a spiral motif reminiscent of a gene and tree moves around the screen. The work poetically portrays the human-virus relationship by using the specific objects appearing in the black-and-white space, the narration in a detached tone, the tranquil yet agitating piano-based music, and the title of the work that clearly defines the theme. This 360-degree animation is painted on a pearlescent acrylic plate, and its mystique is apparent not only in a VR environment but also on a flat screen.
