YICHU 1.0
2025
In a world where human consciousness transcends the limits of flesh, YICHU 1.0 explores the raw emotional journey of transformation, self-reconstruction, and collective evolution. Told in three surreal and cinematic chapters — UPLOADING, NAVIGATING, and REBUILDING — the story follows a protagonist who undergoes a radical metamorphosis, dissolving the boundary between human and digital existence. Through ritualistic visuals, haunting dreamscapes, and futuristic soundscapes, YICHU 1.0 confronts the most intimate and universal question of our time: What remains of "self" when memory and innovation collide?
