Underbelly
Potholes are always on the street. The workers have been repairing it all day long, which nonetheless seems in vain. The road is still unstable. Is it due to the poor technique or other secrets? BrokenRoad is a song conveying conspiracies and secrets untold hidden in the city streets which are always under maintenance. Interestingly, the song connects 3 people, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Donatello, with the conspiracy. An uncanny air fill in the whole song. As a work to continue the song, Underbelly is created. Underbelly as an animal body party means the most fragile. It could be regarded as a weakness and further interpreted as the unknown dark side in a society. Sewer is the setting of the story, where 3 species as well, mouses, flies, and frogs, construct a hierarchical society and disclose dark conspiracies in a society.

Fine (Official Music Video)
Sometimes no is enough without having to explain the story of why. This video embodies and presents as many depictions of “no” as possible. It abandons linear narratives to embrace the abstraction & unpredictability uncovered when exploring the world of a sentiment/feeling. Many iconic “revenge/breakup” music videos starring women, portray these women as unhinged, crazy, and even demonic. It was essential that this NOT be the case in ‘Fine.’ In ‘Fine,’ the women are unchangingly grounded, empowered, and sane as they wreak destruction in order to tell the man who brought trauma/pain upon them “no.” The symbols of this man (his apologetic gifts, the infantilized submissive school-girl-esque image of women he finds ideal, the surrealist box-world he has trapped them in) are the catalysts for the unhinged/creepy/horrific tone of this suffocating-box world, not the women.
Let’s Reveal (Silly Bones Valley)
