I was too far behind to catch up on time. But here are a couple of images from my animation: heaven, represented by a drug trip, and hell represented by complete isolation.

After plenty of consideration, I’ve decided to change the topic of my animation. I liked my previous light-hearted approach, but I feel that maybe it can be a bit too much so. I’ve been thinking about doing the project on drug use. After watching the movie ”Requiem for a Dream,” I’ve begun to see a connection between the extremities of heaven and hell and the extremities of drug abuse.

This piece challenges the typically idealistic perspective of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Though there is no longer a physical barrier between West and East Germany, the societal, developmental, and economic differences it continues to face stand stronger than the wall once did.

This piece challenges the typical view of the fall of the Berlin Wall as a happy ending. Though there is no longer a physical barrier between West and East Germany, the societal, developmental, and economic differences stand stronger than the wall once did. The man in the center represents Germany in torment caused by the schism ever present in the country’s soul.
