Jia Luo
About
Jia is a visual designer and digital artist whose creative practice centers around the visualization of emotion. To her, design is not just a tool for communication, but a language for feeling—capable of shaping the invisible and expressing the inexpressible. Her work traverses the boundary between function and feeling, using visual language to craft experiences that resonate on an emotional level.
In her graduation project, she created Diurnal Psyche, a digital art and design work that represents dream mirrors and visualises anxiety, aiming to represent the psychological experience of anxiety sufferers in everyday life through moving images and animation. This project centers on anxiety disorder as a psychological condition and translates its emotional trajectory into a two-part visual narrative: the somatization of anxiety in the daytime, and the fragmentation of thoughts within dreamscapes at night. The work examines how anxiety traverses physiological manifestation—such as tension, compression, and disrupted breath—into disoriented, symbolic imagery during sleep, where consciousness unravels into dreamlike abstraction.
