Baller-2: Walk and Roll. December, 2019
People occasionally use marathon as a metaphor for life. Stationing in the same time and circumstance, people tend to solve the game with different approaches: some go by the rules, some bend the rules and some even gives up in the start line. It is hard to judge which life is better. This piece depicts the chaotic essence of life and the daily subtle failures in order to arouse the moment of thinking about the goal in the audience’s life while reaching the goal.

Baller-3: Covid Invasion. July, 2020
In December 2019, an unfamiliar virus, which was later named Corona virus, started to raid our lives. Human beings are pointing their knives towards with selfishness each other rather than trying to solve the situation with a benevolent spirit while facing this universal disaster. While giving more attention to emotional factors such as hatred, the majority are blindfolded in comprehending the reality with logic. The social norm currently is not recognized as a spirit that should be respected but scaled for the individual advantages.
In this piece, Corona Virus is metaphored as a meteor, which is a material that is widely used as an universal disaster in public movies. The characters try to solve the problem by making a tower by stacking themselves on the shoulders. However, the tower starts to sway due to the selfishness and numbness of the members below. It is not one individual that could solve the problem but the whole. Same in the real world, the public should not expect to solve the Corona Virus through depending on one scientist, doctor or vaccine but through inspiring consciousness of the individuals.
