Digital animation
Looking through the lens of reality, the imagination seems to be merely a fleeting escape. My body of work investigates the appeal of escapism - often called unproductive and childish. What leads someone to want to detach from their life? Is it just a distraction from life's stresses, or a concerning departure from reality? I chose the medium of animation for its versatility. Contrasting the sharpness of reality with imagination's fluidity I represent the indulgent nature of the daydream, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in flight, to forget the character's mundane life - until they are forced to return to it.
