Communicators use diverse methods to present rich content that nurtures our childhoods and documents the evolution of the times, bringing us joy and new knowledge. Through this graduation exhibition, we inherit the achievements of those before us. Combining the knowledge and skills learned in the Department of Mass Communication to transform them into strong wings – ready to take flight and embark on our own journey of "THE MILLENIAL ERA".

"YEN" not only symbolizes a starting point and origin but also carries the meaning of infinite extension and endless transformation. It embodies the composition of individuals, originating from tiny particles. Just as a production crew, comprising many members, these particles come together, gathering numerous individuals to unlock the limitless possibilities of visual creation jointly. "YEN" leads us on a journey of exploration where vision and thought intertwine.

Now, as we approach graduation, like cells separating, the particles once closely connected will disperse, each heading toward an unknown future. "YEN" marks both an ending and a beginning. A continuous cycle leading to various stages, no matter where it takes us, "YEN" bears witness to the beginning and continuation of this visual journey. This time, we proudly take the name "YEN" and sincerely invite you to step into this space of imagery, to explore the origins of visual storytelling and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.

"10TH EVENT: DEPARTURE - ACTION" The journey in film and television is like a moving train – some people get off halfway, while others are still on board. Regardless of the paths we choose, we have all embarked together on this long and unforgettable journey - the main train. Although the final destination of this railway remains unknown, we hope that the memories and experiences from this journey will forever remain cherished in our hearts as we move forward into the future.

As we complete our four years of university and face the choices ahead, it feels like clicking "SAVE AS".

Will you save as a professional designer, stepping into the world of creativity?
Or save as a freelancer, ready to push your own limits?
Or save as a graduate student, continuing to deepen your roots in the academic world?

Each choice represents a new path. Whether it is about innovation, breakthrough, or venturing into the unknown, we are now ready to save ourselves as new versions – prepared to open the door to a future that belongs to us.

Dusk marks both an end and a beginning. – a time to reflect and a moment to move forward.
Just as we stand at a turning point in life,
Looking back on the many moments of our learning journey,
At the same time, we slowly move toward the unknown future.

In this moment, we use our creations to capture the warmth of our youth,
Through our works, we tell our story.
Stop after stop, like signposts guiding us forward,
And now - this stop has been reached.

Why not pause for a moment and join us,
To chat together in the twilight hour,
To reflect on the paths we've traveled and the dreams yet to be fulfilled.

The theme of the exhibition arcade itself symbolizes the journey of striving for those distant and unreachable dreams. The deeper meaning refers to the intersection of scenes, representing the essential path from one place to another.
Despite the potential length and challenges of this journey, it remains imbued with hope and reveals numerous beautiful elements along the way.
However, the envisioned scenery lies at the end of this path, reflecting our aspirations.

Within the arcade's main visual, shadows depict the real-life obstacles and challenges encountered by the girl; the sky embodies her dreams; the whale symbolizes both luck and freedom, mirroring the lifestyle she yearns for; water droplets, stirred by the whale, generate the dreamy sky, signifying the hope that pervades her journey within this arcade; while the sunset signifies the graceful conclusion of our four years, marking the onset of a new chapter in our lives.

Drawing from this understanding of the arcade's significance, we've meticulously crafted various exhibition walls within the venue. These include Instagrammable walls, offering diverse scenes visible through arches; arch walls adorned with intricate patterns; and sky scenery walls that evoke a sense of longing. Furthermore, the display cabinets are designed as integral elements of the arcade, seamlessly blending into the venue and ensuring cohesive aesthetics throughout the exhibition space, thereby enhancing the overall exhibition experience.
