Personal Life Photos


Yuehan Ren explores the world after dreams in her work.

She tries to use animation to describe how lucid dreams feel to her.

Lucid dreams are like another dimension outside of reality, giving her more personal space to explore more possibilities.

Yuehan Ren likes to experiment with new and unusual materials to create animations, and in this project she discovered that bubbles can be used as a symbolic element of lucid dreams. As a result she became fascinated with the use of bubbles to create moving images. She delved into the practice of combining bubbles and hand-drawing, experimenting with the use of uncontrollable bubbles to represent dreams and hand-drawing to represent consciousness.

The hand-painted lines are interwoven with bubbles, similar to the unique sensation of one's consciousness moving through the dream world while lucid dreaming.
