Baby Teeth | Audio-Visual Experience and Exhibition Branding
Baby Teeth - an audio-visual exploration of growing pains, using baby teeth as a metaphor for personal growth.
Collaboration between Kevin Chandra and Hilary Zhao
The creative strategy explores striking body imagery combined with bold, sharp-looking typography and high-contrast colours to maximise impact.
The audio and visuals are an abstract interpretation drawn from Hilary's conceptual writing.
'Baby Teeth' is a metaphor that I have been ruminating and writing on for months now - that as one grows up there are uncomfortable things to face, internal and external. To pull out the baby teeth is to b e uncomfortable with the purpose of furtshering yourself, the person you are and the life you want to live.

Self-Actualisation | Self-Portrait Work
“The Ouroboros, an ancient serpent forever devouring its own tail, is more than just an ancient symbol—it’s the essence of life’s rhythm. Creation and destruction. Cycles without end. This continuous loop has been with us since the dawn of mythology, but we see it today in photography, where every moment captured is already lost, preserved only in frames as life relentlessly moves forward. You click the shutter, and there it is—life and death, captured in a blink, consumed by time.
Self-actualisation isn’t a destination; it’s a perpetual loop. Every time you think you’ve reached a new level of understanding, life serves you new challenges. Growth happens in cycles. We evolve by consuming what’s old and making space for the new. It’s not about perfection; it’s about staying in motion, constantly looping through phases of destruction and renewal, learning and transforming.”
AUDITORY VISIONARY by Hilary Zhao
Naming Rights | Cultural introspection through graphics and poetry
What does a name hold? Is a name something that we are assigned and assume the meaning of, or an inorganic being that we can amalgamate various developments and parts of ourselves as we grow older?
The two characters you see before you are an interesting pair - my Chinese name, Jinwen (锦雯). I have been aiming recently to explore my cultural identity through more than just the tangible aspects (think sliced fruit, red packets - all well and good, but they never felt like a new and interesting exploration of identity). Instead, recent focuses in my own poetry and aesthetic interests have involved the Chinese language, from both a visual standpoint and its etymology.
