Best to You is a 3D animation inspired by the song “Best to You” by Dev Hynes and Empress Of. The work draws from the song’s themes of loneliness and an unfulfilled relationship. Within the animation, the duet takes form through two cyborg-like human figures that move in and out of synchronization, suggesting both intimacy and emotional distance.

As the video progresses, the narrative resolves around a solitary figure. In the final moments, the character’s reflection reveals that two selves coexist within a single body. This shift reframes the earlier relationship, suggesting that longing, care, and completion may emerge from within rather than from an external other. Roses recur throughout the animation as a symbolic element. As hermaphroditic plants capable of self-pollination and self-sustaining growth, they mirror the character’s transformation. Their presence invites a reconsideration of fulfillment—not as something achieved solely through partnership, but as a process that begins with the self.
