the watercooler

a 3D animation highlighting the blur between performance and authenticity. in an era of remote work and curated personas, presence follows us everywhere. the watercooler isn’t a place anymore but a ritual that seeps into private space. questioning what’s left of sincerity when it can be rehearsed, and if repetition eventually makes performance feel like truth. reflecting on the collapse of boundaries between work and self, mask and face, until they blur into one surface.
