Love to Hate, Hate to Love
This visual essay explores the contradictions we hold in our daily lives—the tension between pleasure and guilt, love and discomfort, desire and resistance. Through layered imagery, pacing, and narrative rhythm, the piece reflects how opposing emotions can coexist within us. By treating contradiction as a mirror, the project invites viewers to reconsider their own emotional complexity and the moments that shape it.
Process:
I began by researching emotional contradiction and mapping moments in daily life where pleasure and discomfort overlap. From these insights, I developed a narrative structure that reflects how opposing feelings coexist. I experimented with visual pacing, transitions, and text overlays to express tension and resolution within a single frame. Through iterative editing, sound refinement, and typographic testing, the final visual essay emerged as a layered portrait of desire, conflict, and self-awareness.
Learning Outcomes:
Through this project, I learned how to translate complex emotional themes into visual form by using pacing, contrast, and narrative rhythm. I strengthened my skills in video editing, sound design, and typographic storytelling, and gained a deeper understanding of how subtle shifts in timing and composition can shape emotional meaning.
