I want to capture life and show others my understanding of the world from my point of view. Perfectionism is my enemy. I am particularly interested in the field of film, animation and game development. I want to create stories that are impactful through my art. I plan to become a concept/environmental artist.
Listen to her is a collection of animated illustrations. It is surrounding the concept of “nature” and the personification of mother nature. I intend to explore the Anthropocene and human attachment themes with heart by giving it a human, motherly figure. What if she had emotions? What if she could understand? I hope to inform the audience that we don’t recognize mother nature enough as humans. She is mysterious, can be extremely powerful and destructive. We need to take good care of the earth; it is our only home.

Listen to her
Listen to her.
Listen to the raindrops, the wind, the trees
touch the leaves and feel the texture
What is mother like? What is she saying?
I see her. She is everywhere
Listen to your mother,
keep me safe, and I will provide
You a home.
Why won’t you listen?
You hear her cry
Destroy everything she said
The biggest of waves and
The biggest of earthquakes
I am now old and dying. Alone.
With branches that will
only keep growing to one day
strangle and suffocate me
A slow and painful death.
Like the sand in the desert
You step on them.
Forgotten. Neglected.
Like ashes into thin air.
We don’t have much time.
