This video piece completes the major piece in the FAC3D exhibition (MIRROR3D, 2021) as it paints a picture of the world of the three avatars that he created for the project: Skylar Ang, Mikhail Hilmi, and Aahan Prakash. The artist believes that environment forms identity, therefore, prior to creating these digital identities, he started by creating their surroundings first. Chong Yan's architectural background influenced his profound interest in world-building, hence the approach adopted in the making of this work. He treats the digital space as a blank canvas, sketching it slowly, adding one 3D element and another to his satisfaction. The experience of floating around inside this particular world is made to represent a journey towards becoming a digital self. As the artist stated, "I believe that everyone has a journey in the digital world.
