Cleanse Your Mind, Then Resume Your Pursuits is a media translation of two books -- one about Zen/Meditation and the other about Taiwan Art History. In my process, I found commonplace between these two quite different books. It's a little interactive game prototype I made with Figma, inviting the audience join my Zen walk as an artist.

Zen Meditation Walk + Taiwan Art History
有那麼多煩惱是因為你過度思考和追求(There are so many troubles because of overthinking & excessive pursuits)
by Kusanagi Ryushun
This is a Buddhism book explaining how to cleanse our minds with everyday simple meditation practices, like walking, standing, and breathing. It's also the main inspiration for this project!
台灣美術兩百年(Taiwan Art history 200 Years )
by Various Editors
This is my all-time favorite book. Every time I feel lost or discouraged, reading through how Taiwanese artists from hundreds ago fought for our identity and entity always gives me incredible strength to keep fighting. This book stands for the pursuits after cleaning the mind in this project also.

Visual attmpts & Character development
Taipei -- Anaheim -- Pasadena
How do different locations on the map make me feel? How would the meditation walk be designed differently in different moods (size of character, color, font, etc.)?
Can you feel the different emotions embed in the scenes?
