Back to School!

3 months of vacation had just concluded and it's time to return to school. And every start of the school semester, I would tell myself that I'm going to work extra hard this term! and in the end I always get distracted by unnecessary stuff and people.

The theme for this term is "Fantasy", and it's the first time that we get to create a video installation within the Lasalle campus. Course outline says that we have to demonstrate rigorous aesthetic experimentation and strong conceptual, theoretical research process, which is definitely what I'm gonna work hard on.
