Fragility of Time

Class of: 2028

Major: Communication Design BFA

Medium: Video

Faculty: Candice Chu

Prompt: Create a two-part animation, each section consisting of at least 60 frames, exploring ideas of transformation or change. Use a variety of drawing techniques, including blind contour, curvilinear forms, cross-contour, one-point or two-point perspective, and incorporate color or value as desired.

This project uses blind contour lines and distorted faces to convey the pressure of time running out as we age. The distorted faces and everyday objects, like clocks, symbolize the fragmentation of identity and the mounting stress of time’s dominance.
