animation: unfortunately…


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.

Guess the picture didn’t come out in my last post… here’s take two. 
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. What I can’t decide on is whether to take an abstract or more direct approach.
I put up the can project a few days ago.
Here’s the statement:
Mundanity
My work’s entitled “mundanity,” a combination of “insanity” and “mundane.”
I meant to convey the sense, that artists often face, of being the crazy person in a world of normal people.
The green within the main sphere emphasizes the growth of talent restrained by the ring of beige cans that symbolize a need for convention.
Bit late to be posting this, but I’ve been sick for the longest time now. My project is basically playing with basic shapes. I always like to contrast straight lines and flowing curves, sharp edges and smooth concepts. It’s certainly abstract, but I like where it’s headed.
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. Because of this, the figure in the center represents a Germany tormented by the schism ever-present in the country’s soul. “In lieu of the Fall festers the true Separation.” In other words, the tear between peoples that the Berlin Wall once represented has now become visceral, eating away at a “unified” Germany that perpetually struggles to convalesce.

The man in the center represents Germany in torment caused by the schism ever present in the country’s soul.
