Change of Perspective –
an autobiographical experience

This project is an interactive website that captures a moment of self-reflection and character development within a quiet, scenic landscape. It portrays me riding a moped through the mountains of Da Nang, Vietnam. The journey through this environment becomes a metaphor for an inner transition: moving forward while processing identity, growth and perspective. The mountainous landscape reinforces this theme. Its openness and scale contrast with the intimacy of the subject, emphasizing the smallness of the individual within a vast world, while also suggesting mental space, clarity, and introspection.

The installation consists of three screens, each displaying me from a different angle. These multiple viewpoints represent the layered nature of self-reflection: how we see ourselves internally, how we imagine we appear and how we are perceived externally. Each screen is interactive. Viewers can rotate the camera or zoom in and out, allowing them to shift perspective and actively construct their own view. This interaction mirrors the act of reflection itself. It is never fixed, but constantly reframed depending on distance, focus and angle. In this way, the work explores the tension between self-perception and external perception, questioning who has agency in defining identity.

The project was developed using Three.js, enabling the creation of a real-time interactive 3D environment. Environmental and object assets were sourced from Sketchfab. To make the piece more personal, I created a 3D scan of myself using Polycam. The combination of web-based 3D technology, scanned personal data, and curated external assets results in a work that merges technical precision with autobiographical narrative.
