My final presentation explores how storytelling, symbolism, and emotional connection guide my artistic practice. Drawing inspiration from artists like KAWS, Takashi Murakami, and Tomm Moore, I focus on expressive characters, rich visual detail, and themes rooted in nature, culture, and spirituality. What I find most rewarding about making art is seeing how people emotionally connect with it—whether through a smile or a moment of reflection.
In my proposal, I introduce a new animation project inspired by characters from the Bible. This series reimagines biblical figures through a contemporary, stylized lens, emphasizing their humanity, inner struggles, and spiritual journeys. My goal is to create short 2D animated vignettes that blend traditional hand-drawn techniques with modern storytelling. These animations aim to resonate with both faith-based and general audiences by highlighting timeless themes like courage, forgiveness, and transformation.
Inspiration: Influenced by Tomm Moore’s use of Celtic storytelling and transformation, combined with KAWS’ bold character recognition and Murakami’s clean, iconic forms. Jesus becomes both a visual anchor and emotional pulse of the animation series.
This concept builds on my existing work with expressive character design and narrative illustration. It reflects my interest in making spiritually meaningful stories feel visually captivating and emotionally accessible. Through this series, I hope to inspire reflection, conversation, and connection—especially when installed in public or community spaces.
