Hybrid Undivided

Project Description

A visual storytelling project exploring hybrid identities — the experience of individuals who move between cultures, geographies, and social contexts without ever fully belonging to one. This work investigates the emotional tension of hybridity: disconnection, fluidity, and the need for recognition in a world that prefers clear labels.

Challenge

People with hybrid identities often feel unseen, misunderstood, or placed into boxes they never chose. This project aimed to communicate that experience through digital storytelling, interactive media, and 3D experimentation — making the internal complexity of hybrid identity visible and felt.

Approach

I combined visual storytelling, 3D modelling, and interactive elements to capture emotions like displacement, relatability, and confusion.
The work was intentionally raw, honest, and experiential — inviting audiences to step into the perspective of hybrid individuals and reflect on the nuances of belonging.

Solution

The final exhibition presented interactive 3D face models, narrative fragments, and visual metaphors that represented how hybrid individuals navigate society. By allowing viewers to pinch, rotate, and inspect the digital models, the work created an intimate encounter — a way of asking the audience to look closer rather than assume.

A multimedia experience that raised awareness about hybrid identity, encouraged empathy, and highlighted the emotional complexity of belonging. The project set the foundation for my later work in experience design, creative direction, and my ongoing interest in how design can make people feel seen.
