Lyla J. Kim and Alexis Javero
Scheele’s Green is an interactive fiction that contains various endings depending on the player’s choices. The content is based on a mixture of the reality we face and the fantasy we’ve created. The main character is unsatisfied with their life. They discover the existence of the Almighty Wizard, who can fix every issue in their life. Therefore, the main character starts the journey to the Green Castle. Through the journey, they meet different characters and make their own decisions reaping both the benefits and the consequences of these decisions. The piece aims to deliver the mentality of young adults trying to navigate through life; lost, unstable, desperate, yet hopeful.
Lyla J. Kim is a Korean artist, currently working in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Kim graduated in Performing Arts from SEWC in Seoul. Since 2017, she has been working in the film and theater industry. She does not use one specific medium but instead uses various methods such as drama, photography, performative arts, and more. Identity is the main theme of her work; she expresses the confusion of individuals in a divisive society and observes the vulnerability of ego struggling between social ideals and the individual worldview. Kim wants the audience to reflect, and eventually, find a sense of belonging and connection through her work.
Alexis Javero is a Filipino artist based in the UAE. She has a deep interest in writing, which lies at the heart of her artistic practice. Her work uses language as an intimate framework to chart boundaries between abstract concepts of the material and the immaterial, the finite and the infinite. She holds a BFA in Fine Arts from the University of Sharjah and has exhibited her work at Maraya Art Center, Sharjah Art Museum, and others. Along with three of her university friends, Dania Al Tamimi, Doha Aboelezz, and Nava Rizvi, she co-founded Rummān Collective with the objective of establishing creative learning experiences for early-career artists.
