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.
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.
