         Humanoid Herb is for the spiritual evocation of a human being. 
    The man, whose face and cloth I painted, is a metaphor for the
    human spirit. Through capturing the man wandering in New York 
    City's busiest sites, Rockefeller Center, Times Square and China 
    Town, I tried to express our soul in the materialistic present day. 
    To emphasize the suffocated psychological aspect of a human 
    being, I contrasted the man, who is the image of nature, with
    urban sights, and then projected this video on a hexahedral glass
    box, resembling a building in the city.
