ARTIST STATEMENT
I’m drawn to experimental animation because it pushes the boundaries of what 2D animation can do. My aesthetic interests have developed into incorporating different styles of media, allowing me to craft my own unique visual language, such as immersive worlds, repetition and cycles, experimental narrative and techniques., all to create appealing visuals that carry the narrative and its meaning. This is a film that explores interpersonal relationships and the futility that goes into the effort of trying to achieve perfection under the pressure of everyone’s expectations.
