Apprentice of Life
Jun Yang, Ooi


BLUES · 2025   ⚖️ Portfolio
Ooi reimagines the portfolio as a music album. Eschewing conventional formats, his graduate works unfold as an interactive album—a homage to Ryuichi Sakamoto’s Opus, a collection of the late maestro’s final compositions. Like Sakamoto’s meditations on impermanence, Ooi’s projects are presented as temporal tracks, a rejection of the static ‘book’ in favor of virtual spaces that breathe, flicker, and echo. Press play, but pause to listen.
