Animation 'What I See' Explores Irony of Art and Perception in Fickle World

The animation "What I See" delves into the life of art student Ian Jing, who struggles with poor eyesight and the demands of his art teacher, Mr. Hui, to draw exactly what he sees.

As Jing's eyesight deteriorates, public opinion of his art fluctuates, highlighting the pretentiousness and fickleness of the art world. The narrative unfolds with Jing's transition from realism to abstract art, reflecting the impact of his changing vision on his artistic expression.

The short film critiques the art world's tendency to devalue realism and emphasizes the subjective nature of artistic interpretation amidst societal pressures.
