The Father Whom He Has Never Met-Production Design Concept
Inspired by my father’s story, this project revisits a childhood during the Cultural Revolution.
The design uses place to drive the story — turning each setting into a symbolic point where emotion and history meet. It explores how architecture holds both memory and silence — how a courtyard, a wall, or a dining table can carry the weight of a generation. Through this lens, the traditional southern Chinese house becomes a living witness: it shelters joy, fear, and unspoken grief. Light and space act as emotional language, revealing how the personal and the political quietly intertwine in everyday life.
It’s a quiet attempt to understand the past not through history, but through the spaces that remember it.
