Based on the research, interviews and records of the three conditions of Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, Chondropathy, Marfan syndrome, I made these three personal pseudo-documentary animations. "He She He" not only represent the three of them, but also represent all of us who are neglected and need to establish emotional connections around us. I tried to use the body as a common medium for establishing empathy, to achieve the transformation from perceptual empathy to personal cognitive empathy.

A large group of people gather around a table for a meal. It is not clear whether they are family or friends. Food is served under a noisy, atmosphere.

At some point there are already those who sleep, who read, who date. The environment is increasingly fragmented. In the end there is only dirty dishes and silence.

In recent years, Japanese office workers put forward a new word "social animal" for self mockery. Because they feel like animals at work, they are just being used as tools, repeating things that are not important day after day without soul. This is a thought-provoking thing. Why do we get emptiness and pressure from our hard work? Line 0 is an attempt to simulate human beings as various tools in life in the form of real person posing. It shows a very regular and boring way of work, just like an industrial production line, which leads a repetitive and monotonous life every day. Zero represents nothing, which can be compared to the psychological state of work, nothing, no sense of achievement and satisfaction. This sense of emptiness will eventually overwhelm us. Only after work is over can we get a little breathing space in our dreams and fantasies.
