Subject: Tracing the faces of people and the many facets of their lives, from birth to death, through the flow of frames.

​

<Not 낯> is an experimental animation that traces the changing faces of people across the human lifespan. Through the flow of frames, the work follows the subtle transformations of facial expression, aging, and emotion, revealing the passage of time inscribed upon the human face.

Rather than portraying death as a singular event, the work approaches it as a continuous process embedded in life itself. Each frame preserves a fleeting moment of becoming and fading, where birth, growth, aging, and disappearance coexist within the same temporal continuum.

The face becomes a living archive of time, carrying traces of memory, emotion, and mortality. Through frame-by-frame animation, the work reflects on the fragile cycle of human existence, inviting viewers to encounter death not as an ending, but as an inseparable dimension of life.​​

* The Korean word '낯(Not)' refers not only to the physical face but also to one's expression, presence, identity, and the traces of lived experience.
