The Unnamed Flower: Preproduction

My grad thesis, The Unnamed Flower: Preproduction, was an installation exploring repressed memories through a writer's room narrative. It visualizes their impact over a lifetime and the healing process of remembering.

The Installation

Thesis Overview

The movie posters, created in Adobe Photoshop, blend my original artwork, photography, and digital painting. I used a limited color palette to maintain harmony. My goal was to craft posters that are not just visually striking but also conveying critical information—balancing key information with artistic expression.

Movie posters symbolizing life stages:

  • Coming Soon – Childhood, where loneliness and anxiety begins
  • Release Date – Teenage years, marked by addiction and self-destruction.
  • Theatrical Poster – Adulthood, where repressed pain manifests as depression and suicidal thoughts.

The installation also included the actual screenplay, storyboards, concept art, creative process video, and collectibles. I brought elements of the story into the writer's space, like a picnic basket, scarf, dried flowers, and wine glass, immersing viewers in the story. Those who chose to read the screenplay would understand what those items meant.

creative process video

My creative process video was part of my thesis installation at MICA, blending my creative process with real victims' experiences. It featured time-lapse character drawings, movie poster development, and audio combining victim interviews with a melodic title sequence from The Keepers.


The video played on loop during the exhibition, adding emotion to the installation space with it's striking images, haunting testimonies and beautiful music.
