Beyond the Brush
Bachelors project | 2024 | Animation, Photography, Illustration
This project demonstrates the power of analog in a highly digitalized world through a mixed media approach, incorporating photography, stop-motion animation, and illustration. It focuses on three natural elements of Earth, represented by Greek mythology characters Gaia, Doris, and Hestia. The project explores the artist's personal feelings of disconnection from nature, culture, and art, aiming to bridge these gaps and re-establish a meaningful connection.
