This project is a gamified narrative film that explores how symbols, structure, and space within traditional Chinese culture can be reactivated under the shadow of technological alienation, offering an alternative way of sensing and connecting in the present.

As technology continues to compress the relationship between humans and the world, culture is no longer seen as a static inheritance, but as an ecosystem within the human spirit—dynamic, interconnected, and fundamental to how we inhabit and understand the world.

Through a reconstructed oracle-bone figure, metaphors of mortise-and-tenon joinery, and spatial storytelling inspired by Chinese gardens, the film centers on the creation and experience of space, seeking a path of symbiosis betwee n tradition and the digital age to rebuild cultural consciousness.
