In-Yeon
This kinetic typography piece is based on a clip from the A24 film Past Lives. It explores the concept of 인연 (in-yeon), a Korean philosophy about how relationships form over many lifetimes. My goal was to convey the delicate threads of in-yeon that bind people across time and space, leaving the audience contemplative about the interconnectedness and enduring nature of relationships.
Created at SCAD.
This concept was beautifully expressed in the film, and I wondered how typography alone could portray this idea. The subtle ink texture, parallax, easing of letters and lack of visuals create a sense of space and immerse viewers into the delicate threads of in-yeon, bringing them into a space and moment where they have room to reflect and imagine.
