Engagement

Engagement is an experimental animated short that goes through a series of fluid transitions between abstract hand-drawn animation and photographic self-portraiture as a way to explore my own personal history and growth, with a recording of an original poem to accompany the images. The poem and animation work together as a way to create motifs that describe my relationship with my past and how it develops my present.
