People wear vivid colours to express political stances in the demonstrations in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This digital video artwork explores how colour, particularly skin tone, is ideologically constructed in media and design. Through sampling, glitches, and critical overlays, the work questions the perceived neutrality of colour standards and highlights how visual systems encode racial and cultural biases. Blending theory with experimental aesthetics, it invites viewers to rethink how identity and power operate through the language of colour.
