The Parental Lie Kit is an awareness piece, expressing
the damages that little white lies have on children. The
importance of this piece is to engage parents, persuading
them to never tell a little white lie again. These lies often
occur when parents are attempting to get out of an awkward
situation or simply to make their children happy. Parents
believe in teaching their children to tell the truth, but in
reality most parents are guilty themselves—uttering
these little white lies.

• 
  Influenced by the Fluxus movement, Fluxus kits were
  made for interaction and were used as a form of expression
  to improve upon ordinary life. A box assemblage was
  created to materialise this concept.

Heaven’s Gate was a UFO-based religious cult, founded
in the 1970s. In 1997, thirty-nine suicide deaths in San
Diego California, were found with direct relation to the cult.

Taken over by leader Marshall Applewhite, this cult was
occupied with ordinary people. Heaven’s Gate typeface
was designed to reflect their beliefs of extraterrestrial
life. This custom designed typeface is displayed through
a poster and booklet design. The notion of cults being
excessively structured and uniform is conveyed through
the letterforms and stroke widths. The unusual letterforms
reflect cult tendencies to do the unexpected. The booklet
and poster were shot under fluorescent light, exposing
the feeling of The Next Level.

The installation is a result of the physical and authored
manifestation of the recordings taken from an online chatting
website–Omegle. As an active observer throughout the
recording phase, treating it as an opportunity to immerse
myself in this new digital/social environment.

• 
  Inevitably interaction occurred between myself and the
  subjects, but it's simply a result of the process involving
  the recording of what I saw. All installations question the
  moral code system that represent how we ought to live
  whether they're based on religious affiliation, events that
  have happened in our life, or just from observing the
  world around us. The work highlights the extreme contrast
  of motivations behind users, and the overwhelming and
  confronting experience of connecting with this cyber world.
