“Sight vs. Insight”
Animation and Digital Prints
Sight vs. Insight symbolizes how society
chooses to shut out and become blinded to what is most beautiful in our world,
instead focusing sight on materialistic obsessions. The girl with empty eyes
represents ‘blindness’ to the real world. The silent tear running down her face
shows empathy as she is slowly consumed by harsh surroundings. The same girl
can be seen with eyes and ears shut to the outside world, enabling her to be
transported to a fantasy space with beautiful sceneries flowing together:
forests, space, valleys, ocean floors, snowy mountains. Therefore we must
become blind in order to truly see.
