About the Speaker
Pei-Hsin CHO (卓霈欣) is a Taiwanese visual storyteller with a particular focus on illustration and animation.
Her work is narrative-based and revolves around sentimentalism and introspection. She combines traditional and digital mediums to depict a variety of inward feelings that attempt to transcribe subtle emotions into tangible and visually tactile images. Personal sentiments are always present in Cho’s atmospheric drawings, wrapped with rational narration to catalyze intimate subjective experiences and memory fragments. Her personal and commissioned works can be seen in many magazines, publications, and international film festivals.
