Dialectical Synesthesia is an animated work that explores narrative through game design, functioning as an introductory video or trailer for an imagined game. Set in a utopian world, the project envisions a player navigating two parallel realms—one a dreamlike fantasy, the other a harsh, infernal landscape.

Utilizing Unreal Engine as a world-building tool, the animation investigates dialectical synesthesia—a conceptual representation designed to evoke synesthetic experiences through the interplay of sound, light, and movement.

By merging digital environments with sensory perception, the piece redefines how virtual spaces can provoke immersive, multisensory engagement.
