Quirky, complex and awkward, this video provides an isolated moment of magic and serenity. Referencing the Ophelia, painted by Sir John Everett Millais, Paneng aims to bring a new life and energy to the original artwork. The installation explores the relationships between nature, technology and magical beings, inspiring playfulness and imaginativeness in the viewer.
