Vision Statement:

unvisible's vision is to immerse audiences in a poignant VR experience that explores themes of loneliness, artistry, and human connection through the eyes of Van, a homeless graffiti artist on a subway. By blending narration, music, and graffiti, our aim is to evoke empathy and reflection, transforming passive viewers into engaged participants in a deeply emotional story.

Synopsis:

In "unvisible," the audience finds themselves as daily passengers on a subway train, where they encounter Van, a dishevelled homeless man with a broken violin. Van, seemingly invisible to others, connects with the audience member, sharing his story through narration. He introduces Frida, a girl he cares for deeply, as he reminisces about their encounters.
As the train moves along, Van and Frida's relationship unfolds through Van's narration. We witness moments of kindness and artistry amidst the gritty subway backdrop. Frida, drawn to the violin, provides a musical backdrop to his graffiti art, attracting a crowd.
However, the story takes a turn when Frida, upon seeing a portrait Van painted of her, remembers her past. Van's heartbreak is palpable as Frida stops recognizing him. The train journey continues, showcasing Van's struggle, juxtaposed against the vibrant graffiti art he creates.
As the train reaches its final stop, Van holds onto Frida’s violin as the only memory of her. Behind him, a cleaner erases the graffiti.
Throughout "unvisible," themes of loneliness, artistry, and finding a purpose are woven together, inviting the audience to empathize with Van's poignant journey.
