Bye Bye, Bicycle (2021)

Procreate, After Effects, Premiere Pro

The project depicts a memory flashback to my most precious life period. I spent most of my childhood with my grandmother since my parents were busy working. We used to live in a small house with old streets nearby. I had many after-school classes on weekends, and my grandmother was my "driver", who used an old bicycle to send for me and pick me up as I sat behind her. When it was raining, my job was to hold the umbrella for her. On those sunny days, I could feel the sweat on her back. The sound of ringing bells and the spinning wheels still come up to my mind. My memory from childhood is full of passing old streets, blowing wind, my grandmother's back, and all those repeating sounds. Life was simple and easy at that time.
All the details might fade out through time, but those emotions and feelings will be kept forever. The work is dedicated to my beloved grandma, the most important person in my life.
