Not Everything Was Seen

“Not Everything Was Seen” explores absence as presence and love’s partial visibility. Images are traces—fragments left by intimacy and time. Love lingers in gestures, silence, fading light; it flickers in reflections, slips out of frame. The series holds what remains.

About Artist

Rui Wang

Rui Wang is a cross-disciplinary designer and creative artist whose work spans visual design, art direction, and photography. With a Master of Fine Arts from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Rui’s visual language is grounded in aesthetic precision and narrative depth. He specializes in building cohesive and emotionally resonant visual systems across branding campaigns, multimedia platforms, and photographic works. Rui’s creative philosophy—that every visual is a vessel for storytelling—guides both his design and photographic practice. In creative vision and design, he sees each project as a narrative to be crafted, using visual systems to translate abstract concepts into emotionally engaging experiences. From creative design to multimedia campaigns, Rui builds stories through concept development, typography, layout, and motion. In photography, he brings this same narrative sensibility to each frame, using analog film to capture atmospheres that evoke memory, stillness, and longing. By weaving storytelling into both structured design and intuitive image-making, Rui creates experiences that resonate beyond the visual—emotionally and conceptually. Guided by this philosophy, Rui has led and contributed to campaigns for global brands such as Disney, Nike, and SCAD. His work has received recognition from leading institutions including the MUSE Awards, Red Dot Design Concept, The International Design Awards, The London Design Awards, and The International Photography Awards. Whether crafting immersive brand identities or atmospheric visual narratives, Rui’s practice bridges the space between image and idea—between storytelling and strategy.
