the Horrors (2021)

'the Horrors' is an audiovisual piece commissioned for experimental filmmaker Ivy Jlassi's 'Self Portrait' exhibition. Encompassing nineteen different themes, the exhibition captured Ivy's and nineteen other artists of varied disciplines' understandings and interpretations of them.

I
was given the prompt 'Dreams'. which I against common understanding chose to interpret as nightmares. The spoken word aspect was inspired by a couple of reoccurring nightmares I had during that period of time. 

Whilst some of my past works featured some simple animated elements, this is the first video I fully animated. Certain concepts and stylistic choices were heavily inspired by popular media including the Klei-produced game Don't Starve (2013) and the Studio Ghibli film Princess Kaguya (2013)
