Sunhui Ye
When conceiving and learning, the fun and meaning of the work are very important to me. I believe that the work comes from vision, and vision comes from life and observation. I don’t want to make a work that is more about form than meaning, so I am used to observing people and things around me and thinking about them, which are all sources of inspiration. These projects are dedicated to exploring issues related to man and nature, the pursuit of self, and feminism.
I am very willing to hear suggestions and discussions, thank you for watching！
An Animated Apology
The content includes a middle finger gesture.
This is overall a two minute animation worked as an apology to my friend, in a fun and relaxing way. When I was about to sleep, I suddenly remembered a story of me making fun of an idol, then found out my friend was his big fan. I made this apologizing animation for her and turns out that she didn’t even remember this.

An Animated Apology
This is a project that aims to challenge myself doing work on mixed media and story telling. In the two minute animation, I told a story of a stupid thing I've done in high school, which is a story of me making fun of an idol, then found out my friend was his big fan. To tell this small mistake that I made in high school, I would want to present an animation in the style of a diary that combines stop-motion and stop frame animation.

PIGEONS
Pigeons are considered exceptional citizens in this place. Once the city’s hosts, their presence has caused some individuals to feel repulsed, leading to the appearance of hostile architecture. Actually, these hostile structures are also against some homeless people in addition to pigeons. Through development, he natural world has since been separated into territories, making it unusable for human or animal habitation. What sort of social setting is ideal? This project, which based on the observation of pigeons and incorporates the article The London Spikes Controversy: Homelessness, Urban Securitization, and the Question of “Hostile Architecture” by Australian scholar James Petty, aims to investigate the relationship between man and nature, urbanization, and living space.
The Film Poster
Personally, since I have rarely done manual printing before, I have
always been curious about various printing methods. This is a
relatively practical project. I hope that in addition to complete works,
I can also try some untried art projects. In this small project of Film
Poster, I will design a poster based on the old movie “The Night of
The Hunter” and try large-size screen printing. This is a project that
has caused me some difficulties, but I believe it will be helpful for
my future creations.
The Night of the Hunter is a black-and-white film with strong
religious connotations that combines black humour and horror. In
the film, a missionary entices a widow and murders her for property.
The widow’s son battles the missionary with cunning to defend the
property until he is adopted by a good woman and vanquishes the
wicked guy. There are numerous stunning views in the film, and it
makes good use of light, shadow, and audio-visual language. The
film is essentially about the conflict between hate and love, and how
love will win in the end

The Red Thread of the times
My grandmother, mother and I are three women who grew up in different times and at different stages of life. Our perspectives, experiences, and opinions about marriage vary, leading us to have differing opinions. However, when I abruptly brought up this subject with them, we all agreed that there is a covert gender discrepancy in Chinese marriages. What are the opinions of other Chinese women from various generations regarding marriage? In order to learn certain unspoken facts about women, I decided to pay attention to their voices.
The outcome is a wedding dress with the women’s views on marriage written on it in Nüshu (a type of writing that only belongs to women), along with three booklets, based on a questionnaire survey involving fifty females in China and study about some Chinese Artworks about marriage. This is a gift from a previous generation to a newer generation.
Final Outcome: The Wedding Dress
Daily Sketches
In addition to studio projects, I also drew some daily practice works, including drawings of museum collections during my trip to Edinburgh, and sketches when I went out on my own. Although these daily exercises have no fixed theme, I think they are very helpful for recording and finding inspiration.
