ABOUT

Blooming in the Palm is a short mixed-media animation about a fleeting moment of growth. Bright flowers cut from magazines appear above an open hand in black-and-white live-action footage.I brought the paper flowers into the moving image through collage and animation. Their printed colors and visible cut-out shapes create a contrast with the real hand, turning a simple gesture into a small, tactile scene.This is a self-initiated experiment in combining live-action video, found imagery, and handmade collage.
