To Belong
To Belong is a multi-medium exploration of identity, individuality, and the universal search for acceptance. Through motion design, interactive storytelling, and thoughtful editorial content, the project examines what it means to find one’s place in a world that often demands conformity. It invites audiences to reflect on the tension between standing out and fitting in—and ultimately celebrates the quiet freedom of belonging without compromise.
Belonging As You Are
This editorial is a five-part zine that unpacks the meaning of belonging through the lenses of psychology, personal narrative, and cultural reflection. Using a bold visual language of shapes and movement, it explores themes like identity, conformity, authenticity, and common ground. Each section invites readers to pause, question, and reflect—offering insight into the quiet struggle of being different and the powerful freedom that comes with finding your place.
Belonging Isn’t a Place. It’s a Feeling.
This zine doesn’t hand you answers—it hands you a mirror. To Belong explores the tension between self-acceptance and societal expectations. Every page, shape, and composition invites you to look closer—not just at the visuals, but at the questions they raise about what it really means to belong.

To Belong
This motion piece follows a lone sphere on its determined journey to find where it truly fits. Pushed out, reshaped, and misunderstood, it moves through a world of abstract forms that reflect the emotional terrain of not belonging. Through shape and movement alone, the video captures what it feels like to be different—and the quiet relief of finally being seen.
Shaping The Journey
These mockups spotlight key moments from the motion video—where form, movement, and isolation collide. It’s a closer look at how visual storytelling can express what words often can’t: the quiet ache of not fitting in, and the beauty of finally finding where you do.
Moments in Between
These stills pull moments from the journey. Each image captures a step in the sphere’s search for belonging, using only shape, contrast, and space to communicate emotional weight.
