What glows where the light ends. The final character of YUHEEVERSE 2.0.Without a strict plan, we let instinct lead the way. We wanted to build a character wrapped in a powerful yet soft energy. Everything slowly fell into place as each person’s creative perspective naturally shaped the final form.Every detail played a part, captured through Ruda’s lenses. Kaitlynn’s makeup became the light itself, while Yeha’s layered styling added depth and texture that transformed the look. Seeing every idea build on the last is what makes creating together so special.With our dream team:Co-creative direction & photographed by @playthetrack9 Styling by @creepyyeha @yehaleung Makeup by @kaitlynnnoodles by @playthetrack9

Taking shape.This look became the second character of the extended YUHEEVERSE series.I shared my mood board featuring the work of Japanese illustrator Range Murata the night before our shoot. @creepyyeha completely surprised all of us by designing and creating this entire look overnight, right up until it was time to shoot.The set felt like a playground where we bounced ideas off each other until this character came to life. This creative process has been so special, and seeing each vision evolve into something real has been incredibly meaningful.In collaboration with the visionaries:Co-creative direction & photographed by @playthetrack9Styling by @creepyyeha @yehaleung Makeup by @kaitlynnnoodles by @playthetrack9

What lives under the shadows? Me and @playthetrack9 envisioned shooting this series entirely on a black background creating an imaginary world where darkness is a color of its own, and the mystery unfolds.This project naturally became the next chapter of the YUHEEVERSE series we shot last year. What started as a single shoot project years ago blossomed into an ongoing creative collaboration and a special friendship. Truly the best feeling is pushing our boundaries further every time to bring entirely different characters to life.In collaboration with the visionaries:Co-Creative direction & photographed by: @playthetrack9Styling by @creepyyeha @yehaleung Makeup by @kaitlynnnoodles by @playthetrack9

We hope our work can offer a small moment of inspiration and comfort.More than creating beautiful visuals, we are always searching for something real beneath the surface.These images are not photographs, but screenshots from a video. Imperfect moments captured in motion.The process is rarely perfect, and neither are the results. But we believe what moves people is not perfection. It is sincerity, with emotions that feel familiar, and with the quiet reminder that none of us are alone.Don’t look for perfection, in art, in love, or in yourself.Find what feels real♥️From @playthetrack9 and @yuheeyang Music Like Someone In Love by @bjork by @playthetrack9

In the name of love 🥀We were first inspired by @rosalia.vt ’s “Berghain” and wanted to reinterpret the art through our own creative lens.When @conrad.taylor ’s remix came out, it gave us a fresh perspective on the vision of love and elevated the emotion and intensity of everything we wanted to express.So here it is, our take on it. Hope you enjoy.Yours truly, @yuheeyang and @playthetrack9Track : Berghain (Remix) by @conrad.taylor @rosalia.vt @bjork @yvestumor by @playthetrack9

Another old work drop alert 🚨 This marked the beginning of @lustsickpuppy and my creative paths crossing in 2021 during the pandemic !!!It’s crazy to think it’s already been almost 4 years since then. Quarantine forced me to spend a lot of time with myself, but it also brought me the chance to meet so many incredible creatives.Collaborating with @lustsickpuppy was such a special experience- it really helped me expand my #creative freedom and explore what I wanted to express through my work. This #collaboration will always hold a special place in my heart 💜#coverart #albumcover #photoshop #photography #digitalart #graphicdesign by @playthetrack9

Some favorite clips from the #DOGWOOD MV 🎂 So many elements in this video were inspired by @arielletesoriero’s original #paintings and #sculptures so make sure to check out her incredible work!I did the creative direction on the video, as well as the shoot and edit, but she was a huge influence on this project. We styled the looks together, I did her hair, and she did her own makeup🩷 What a fun time! This project brought me back to my beginnings when I used to do hair, makeup, and styling for my models on personal projects.Dogwood was such a special project that reminded me of those days and I’ll forever cherish the experience of bringing this video to life together!#musicvideo #creativedirection #aftereffects #doodles #musicartwork #illustration #vfxartist by @playthetrack9

As much as I focus on creating video content and diving into 3D fantasy world-building these days, my core always goes back to my first love: #drawing Whether it’s with hands on paper or pen tools and brushes in #photoshop , drawing has always been my foundation.I created these visuals for Arielle Tesoriero’s #Dogwood official movie drop, celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the song’s release. I didn’t get a chance to post them on my IG back then because I wasn’t in a place to be creative or focus on anything else.Looking back, I still love these works that never made it to my feed. It’s crazy to think this was 2.5 years ago! As a tribute to her latest music video drop today, I wanted to share these here as well.Thank you to @arielletesoriero for believing in me and supporting me through the whole process💙 by @playthetrack9

I shot this a while back, and I have to say, our #Mugler x #GentleMonster project really pumped me up with creative energy! Huge thanks to the team @itssnixbitxh @isuxel and a special shoutout to @theepapidiva for the amazing #Supanova coded video edit that completely got me into this concept 1000%!
