IF ONLY I WERE A BOX

I was introduced to TouchDesigner by a classmate during my first week of art school, and I was immediately hooked. With our first exhibition scheduled only two weeks later, I challenged myself with a strict constraint: I would creating something this new software.

My visual inspiration came from a thrifted vintage graphics magazine, where I found an old Sony audition brochure. I became obsessed with the concept of "boxes within boxes." Around the same time, I discovered the world of projection mapping, and everything clicked.

I built custom cubes from leftover wood, painted them white, and spent nights "speed-learning" TouchDesigner through countless tutorials. The result was a digital self-portrait, where each mapped surface represented a different facet or emotion of me.
