What We've Lost What We've Gained Original

The topic of my project is about the working environment in China, around the negative emotions of anxiety, stress and disappointment in the workforce caused by the imbalance between work and life. The work was finally displayed in the form of a poem, consisting of three parts, expressing the entire process of an office worker's emotional changes. The first part is a process from intangible to tangible, expressing that people entering the workplace have gradually clear goals and plans for the future. The second part is the process from tangible to intangible, conveying that people gradually lose themselves and lose their direction in day-to-day work, and clear goals are broken by negative emotions. In the third part, I made a looping animation. Just like the concept expressed by the Mobius strip, the two opposite but not completely opposite sides are like work and life, which is a unity of opposites. People keep advancing and circulating on it, but they have long been discouraged by this state of work. So I hope that through this work, people can reflect on what people really lose and gain in a high-intensity work environment, and how to balance the gains and losses as a part of life.
