Lettering work for GILA and Kloxii’s music video NANAO.
‘NANAO’ is a rumination on unrequited love, dreaming of finding common ground but soon realizing you are stuck, alone and vulnerable.

The music video is a haunting tale of two lovers who find themselves drowning in toxic cycles of entanglement and codependency. Inspired by the ancient Chinese mythological book ‘The Classic of Mountains and Seas’ (山海经 ~300 B.C.), two dancers portray ‘MANMAN’（蛮蛮) a mythical beast formed of two conjoined one-eyed birds. As the video spirals, the two halves undergo a violent process of merging with flashes of fleeting intimacy and tenderness.
