"Lost You" serves as a visual narrative of my journey and reflection on personal growth grappling with the challenges of navigating both academia and the complex dynamics of being a first-generation student and persona life. Within the bustling college environment, where swift connections form effortlessly, my introverted nature often leaves me feeling like an outsider. I envisioned a space where nature and water converge, free from the constraints of societal expectations. Drawing inspiration from personal growth and way of thinking, I explored the boundless possibilities of a virtual space. This world becomes my refuge, an escape from the uncertainties, fears, and doubts in the shadows of an unpredictable future. They are constituted by dreams, desires, and curiosities. I question the idea, of what motivates us to think and imagine this particular world. What is the meaning behind this? What if humans explore this virtual space through their lens? I invite viewers to ponder these questions, encouraging a thoughtful exploration of the intricate interplay between our internal landscapes and the worlds we construct.
