"Three Envelopes" (2025) is a stop-motion animation inspired by the rituals of Lunar New Year of the Snake. At its center is a red envelope marked with a jade snake that coils into a circle, evoking both the infinity symbol and the ancient image of the ouroboros. This looping gesture reflects the cyclical nature of time, where beginnings and endings fold into each other. Through simple movements and tactile textures, the animation connects the symbolism of renewal, continuity, and generosity with the traditions of gift-giving and shared prosperity.
