SERIES
Source Message is composed of 26 short-form TikTok videos made from fragmented moments gathered from travel, everyday life, and the quiet instants when beauty makes itself known. Each clip carries overlaid text in the familiar TikTok font, grounding the work in the visual language of our time while honoring the raw immediacy with which we now record our becoming.
Sound becomes an essential layer. Each video is paired with an intentionally chosen song that amplifies the emotional tone of the scene and deepens the meaning of the words on screen. The music holds the atmosphere: the quiet of a morning, the rush of a city, the softness of a memory, the ache or expansion of a moment. Together, these sonic choices transform the piece into an energetic landscape—one where image, text, and sound move as a single message.
As a whole, Source Message reclaims the rhythm of the feed as a space for reflection. It acknowledges the mediums through which we now narrate our lives, while demonstrating that even the most ephemeral frames can carry depth. The work asks how healing can show up in real time, inside the tools and aesthetics of the present day, and how meaning is often found not in a single moment — but in the accumulation of many small ones.
