Nano | Kwong, Ka-Yan | TWN | 3'

As a Hong Kongner, my creative inspiration stems from my childhood experiences of sharing a cramped room with my two siblings, which resonates with the current situation of nano-sized apartments in Hong Kong. During my research, I discovered that the issue of increasingly narrow living spaces and soaring housing prices is not unique to Hong Kong but also prevalent in other countries. Through this animation, my aim is to raise awareness and inspire action within society. I hope to contribute to improving living environments and promoting coexistence, while also emphasizing the significance of this issue. My previous work, "Yearing Fruit," participated in a competition and achieved commendable results. I aspire to find job opportunities in Taiwan, where I can explore and learn new things, ultimately becoming a competent professional.
