Regarding visual aspects, I believe that Part 2 holds the greatest significance within the entire performance. It serves as a bridge between the “daughter’s” struggle with self-awareness in Part 2 and the self-acceptance in Part 3. To portray the character of the “daughter,” we assigned a member of our group to play the role. We utilised particles to create portraits and employed an abstract technique to capture the essence of the “daughter’s” image. This was done because the “daughter” not only exists within the context of the film but also represents numerous children who experience oppression from their parents. The depiction of the particles used in the portrait can be observed in Figure 1

Our group believed that Part 2 held significant importance in terms of visual elements, acting as a link between the “daughter’s” struggle with self-awareness in Part 2 and her subsequent reconciliation in Part 3. To depict the character of the “daughter,” we assigned a member of our group to play the role and utilised particles to construct an abstract portrait representing the “daughter’s” image. We opted for this technique as the “daughter’s” role in the film serves as a representation of numerous children who face oppression from their parents in real life. The particle depiction of the portrait can be seen in Figure 2.
The square shape in the background was intended to signify the invisible walls that a mother’s expectations create, binding her children. Initially, we planned to use a black-and-white colour scheme for the visual elements. However, following feedback from Jules after observing our performance on March 27th, 2023, we ultimately decided to alter the cube in the background to a bright red colour, creating a striking contrast between the black and white blocks.
Finally, we choreographed the movement of the actor portraying the “daughter,” who awakens in a world of her own inner self, surrounded by threads representing her mother’s expectations. She becomes panicked and attempts to break free, but instead is manipulated like a puppet, becoming entangled in the threads.
