Zoe Liu

Hello, I'm Zoe Liu. I’m interested in the systems and structures—visible or invisible—that shape human experience. My creative process often begins with observation and introspection, then moves toward constructing visual narratives that examine memory, ambiguity, and the passage of time. I approach design as a tool not only for communication but for reflection.

For this project, I chose to create a night sky filled with twinkling stars, which incorporates the diary I previously submitted. I see the night sky as representing my current mood most of the time, but the stars which shining in different sizes and brightness are symbolize my expectations for the future. The GUI also helps me express this idea, since in fact I can adjust the GUI (like my mindset) to make the stars shine brighter and appear larger

This update adds a feature that allows up to four people to appear in the frame and be transformed into stick figures. I also added some light effects to the hands, which create trailing effects that follow their movements. In addition, I added diamond shaped decorations around the stick figures and created patterned designs for the background.
