Seems More Human – An Animated Short

For this project, I wanted to express a conversation I had with my friend. At one point in the discussion, my friend stated that, as COVID-19 restrictions became a little more relaxed, they would see people without masks more often and said that it felt more vulnerable. They said specifically that everything "seems more human," which really stood out to me. As a result, I decided to depict a skull--representing the collective--that goes from wearing a mask to not wearing one. Following the removal of the mask, flowers bloom and leaves sprout from within the skull. I used this imagery to express nature—or the idea of something more human.
